Trojan Boat Forum

Hi folks, as I already wrote in this thread:

http://www.trojanboats.net/wforum/viewtopic.php?t=5141

we still desperately need some detailed pictures of this section of a Mercruiser 233 - Ford 351 Inboard engine
from a Trojan F32 Sedan Flybridge to rebuild the connection to the upper and lower helm.



Reason: when we've got the Boat, all upper parts of the engines were
missing and now it is very puzzeling to finish our works.

Pleas take your camera and shoot some big pic's from this area in original
and send it to me ( buffalo [at] shared-files.de )

In WWW you just find pictures fom separate engines

THANK YOU very much in advance - Heiner from Berlin

OK guys - nobody answers

Could the missing part look like this bow ??



If yes - still needing pictures - Heiner (english language is still hard for me)

Thats what it looks like . You should be able to make something up . The part in the photo bolts under the carb in some cases in others to the 2 rear cab studs . If you make one up use the rear carb studs . I wish I had a photo of the part off the engine but I don't sorry .

Thanks Paul for your answer - looks I'm on the right way

I already found some schematicts (explosive drawings) also not connected as working case pictures

... so if anybody here will takes a heart to us - send some Pictures - please.

Thats what He has ( ford base ) the carb hook up should be the same on a chevy base

"sigh" ok ok I guess I'm gonna have to force myself to go to my boat today for no other reason than to take pics for a fellow trojan owner (snicker)

One excuse is as good as another, right?

Do I have to worry about Dave
We lost him for hours - may be the fridge filled up with beer was in his way ???

ok, after a horrible drive to my boat in Saturday traffic ( took almost 14 minutes) I parked and had a terrible thought... what if the beer fridge was malfuntioning??? I ran the 15 meters or so from my parking spot to my boat, rushed onboard and to my relief there were 15 tall cans of heineken all frosty and ready to drink, opened one and then my boat started sulking so I took her out with the family for a cruise to downtown Toronto and then back for photoshoot. had a few more beer and as I went for the camera a few dockmates asked if I needed assistance, well the beer ran out and we ended at the clubhouse were there was beer (and ceasers) well wife drove me home about midnight leaving my truck and camera at club. Went back today after recovery and I shall have pics up in about 30 mins

ok here goes!






if thes pics don't help the last one is of my loader... you can borrow it to punish boats that will not play nice with their owners!

I thought should start far out and zoom in closer and closer, is this what you needed?

DAVE - THAT's what I'm was looking for - GREAT

Thank you very, very much for theese pictures !!!! (and your family too, and your fridge)

Now I hope we wont' need your loader-beast to finish our works on her engines.
But I realize also, we have to order/organize theese original brackets.
No way to construct our own one's

As soon as possible I will keep you all informed about continuing of progress.



I'm proud to share this forum and all of your engagement
Love your feedback and humorous statements - Heiner from Berlin / Germany

UPDATE: Today I found some paperworks about her secrets.

Hull-Number is: TRJ025220676/321
Engines have serial-Nr's: 65604 and 65603 MerCruiser.

We have got some brackets or hook up's - but unfortunately wrong one's

Nothing useable. First owners starting winterizing here and we still can't move her on her own power

Get creative, someone designed and made the originals. Take some measurements, get a shop or person with a plasma torch and I bet it can be made. If you can't find one
