Trojan Boat Forum

Installed a Lewmar Pro series 1000 on the boat this week. Was not that hard to do, boat was wired from the factory. Removed the hatch cover for the anchor locker and installed 3/4" starboard with a backer from pulpit to bulkhead. Removed the mirror on the forward bulkhead and put in a 8"x12" sealed hatch to access locker. Will be replacing the old mirror with new with hinged mount for access. Will try to post pics if I can figure it out.

That would be great . How do you like it ?

Have not really used it yet other than putting in the rope chain rode. But I think my back will like it.

Dennis,

I would be interested in seeing both the mirror and access hatch if it's not too much trouble.

I've done some wiring on my windlass all of it hanging my head upside down in the locker. It must be so easy going in through behind the mirror. I'm going to remove my pulpit this fall so I can re-core it. I'll install a hatch first to make the wiring easy.

Bob,

I think I've posted this before, but here is my access. I do not have a sealed/waterproof hatch there. The mirror is mounted to a hinged door/hatch but not really sealed. I've not had any water problems.

Tom - thanks. I might have missed that post before. Strange, it looks like some of the mid cabins came with a smaller mirror which provides access to the locker. Yours looks like it's from the factory.... do you know?

Mine has a larger mirror but nothing behind it. I will definitely put this on my winter list.

I'm not sure, as I am the 2nd owner. I don't think the prior owner would have made that alteration.

Bob maybe someone covered your hatch with a larger mirror .

Bob, here is a pic of the mirror before

My mid cabin also has the large mirror it was factory, do not know why the difference.
