Leaky "10G" Plumbing Fittings

My 1990 F32 has white poly tubing throughout for plumbing. The tubing only has "10G" stamped on the service lines; the lines to the bathroom faucet are 3/8". I think the 10G tubing is 15mm in size and I haven't' been able to find the tubing at Lowes, West Marine or Boater's Warehouse....

Re: New Member - lots of questions - liveaboard

Invictus (ex Proud Mary) has a new owner and I a new home. We had horrendous winds and seas for a few days. I technically did not have a sea trial, in the senae that I bought based on work done and previous sea trial efforts. Today, the guy acting as a captain on my behalf and I sailed her around th...

Re: New Member - lots of questions - liveaboard

It used to be at Bay Point Marina in Norfolk where I keep my F26. I've been on it once. Really nice inside. She did sit for a while so I would suspect the fuel is probably bad. I don't believe she was ever neglected, but she just wasn't used much in the last few years. From what I recall, Norm boug...

Re: New Member - lots of questions - liveaboard

....will rerun appropriate cabling and new breaker for larger charger.... I assume you know I am talking about the charge wires not the 110 volt supply to the charger ...Read the installation instructions carefully, they will save you time later like putting the unit further than ten feet away prev...

Good Morning Trojan Forum: Hopefully in about 72 hours, I'll be a proud owner of this boat: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/1989-Trojan-32-Sadan-101673605. I did the survey Friday, sea trials failed, but I'm buying the captain's words. We think the boat sat for around 6 months and the 315's, as we...
