Trojan Boat Forum

I am going to take it for a test paddle this evening. I have searched the interwebs, and people either love them, or have never owned one and hate them. Must be a Ford vs. Chevy thing

I have located a 9' Livingston for sale, and I am wondering how effective the Weaver Snap Davits are for securing it to the swim platform on an F28. It weighs around 120# I reckon but, if I have to tow it everywhere, I would rather go larger than smaller. It is a nice little boat, and it is the heav...

That sucks. I fondly recall Dad leaping into the water, on numerous occasions, after launching :lol: Things like this make me happy to have a shallow marina. We rarely have more than 4' of water, even at high tide. It makes you have to pay attention to the tides, for leaving and returning, but it is...

heefus if i read correctly you are going to start your engine on one battery and then manually change over to a house battery to charge after the engine is running. if so you need to verify that your battery switch will (make before break) not break its connection to one battery during the switch o...

I have seen a bunch of boats running small hondas on the swim platform. It seems lik a good way to get them swamped, especially if your platform is close to the water. I am getting ready to add 2 house batteries to the F28. I am going to put them both on switches, one to each engine. I will start wi...

bwaaahahahahhaha...you are a brave man

I am looking for a dingy now. We need a way to get the dog (2 year old GSD) to the shore for potty duty.

The thread was a complete success. Derailment did not occur until after the problem was fixed

Is it a full on Woody, or is the hull glass over board?

Either way, nice restoration!

never seen any marina engine recc anthing but 30w / 25-40 or 15w-40 . but not 2O-50 never in any marina engine book i have seen Dunno. All I know is that the PO always used it, and they purr like kittens. He was also a 3rd generation waterman, and the sales manager for an oil company. I used 20W-50...

It was the regulator. I Ohm'd out the old one, and was getting resistance. Slapped the new one in, with a healthy dab of dielectric grease on the connections, and fired her up. Perfect VDC at all RPMs.

Life is good.

will do.

Vato Zone hadthr 5 pin for the 75 truck. I also picked up a spare 4 pin ballast.

Thanks for the info!

Ok. I am getting 17v randomly from the starboard alt. She will start at 14.5, then climb to 16-17v. Sometimes she will drop down again, and sometimes not. I went ahead and picked up a new regulator, but I am concerned that it may be a stator grounding issue. This is the original alt. and has neverbe...

wakka wakka!

I did the same thing last weekend
