have another question , inside the bathroom on my f26 there are sliding plexiglass doors. one side is void and made to store things the other side has a yellow contraption mounted on an angled wood block. It has several 2" wide dryer type vent hose and I pulled out a long metal handle from behind it with a large black ball it fit into the "thing" and when I lifted the handle it appeared to raise and lower some kind of bellow. what the ****is this thing ?

Just a guess. It is so you can use the blower as a fart fan.

Trojan dveloped and utilized the Automatic Hootastrater.

The F series has the manual version and the Internationals have the automatic.

Hope this clears it up.

I have the same handle on my boat. I thought it was for a old manual bilge pump that was replaced at some time. I kept it just in case it was for something else.

Bilge pump? I thought it was a fiberglass expander and stringer pump. To make an f26 into a f36. But its most likely a bilge pump
