Trojan Boat Forum

I don't know what year or what model you have but on a 1985 10 Meter Express that I owned the boat was not manufactured with a pumpout deck plate. I had to add it.
It only came with a treatment system that pumped the waste overboard after being treated.

Thats funny that you bring this up as I have the exact same issue with an FX 1 that the previous owner had installed in my salon.
With everything else that I have been doing to the boat it has been on the back burner for a while now but I plan to tackle it soon.
I will let you know what I find out.

I too have always just put the new bearing in the freezer and have never had a problem.

I know I have to fill in a lot of pics and information as I have been very busy..... But......


The engine took it first breath this past Monday!
I still have some final adjustments to make but it sounded Great!
Hopefully I will be in the water in the next week or so.

I did walk around it last summer while I was going by and it looked pretty good from the ground.
I wanted to get inside to take a peek but was in a hurry to get to the Erie Motel for a perch dinner.
I do have priorities.

I can't sit any longer as I have to get up and move around.
I will finish getting caught up after a little break.

I hope everyone noticed the clean bilge in that last pic.
Unfotunately it did not stay that way for very long.

Transmission being aligned. That ended up being a bit tricky. http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac37/xmeter/Detroit%20671TI/4-17-2011032.jpg Tranny back on, rear mounts back bolted on to stringers and the shaft being reattached http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac37/xmeter/Detroit%20671TI/4-17-201...

We still are not done and it is very slow going for me as I have to go in for back sugery. That is going to screw up this summer for me for sure. As of now it looks like I am having it done at the end of June. But, for an update, the oil pump is back on, the oil pan with the new pad heaters is insta...

Welcome to the forum.
Looks like you bought Matts old boat. It is nice to see she went to a good home.
