Went to the marina today to do a deep cleaning and all systems check before the Memorial Day weekend kicks off, also to snap a few pics that were requested of the engine room. Sorry I could not get pics of the drives and whatnot since its in a wet slip. I did however find out that the down solenoid on the starboard drive trim is shot and in a pinch had to make a jumper to trim down, I will deal with it properly after the weekend and change the solenoid. Got her all cleaned and made sure everything else checked out so I would not have to deal with much Friday evening when the admiral and I head down for the weekend.

Welcome Trojan man!

We keep our 11 Meter at our dock in Port Duncan. I've had her, and have done the work on her, for the past 20 some years. Some of your boat looks very similar to mine. If I can help in any way, come on by. And, if you see us anchored in Woodard Hollow (Boat's name is The Primrose) feel free to come alongside.

Hello I happen to be the new owner of this boat and I must say the boat is great. I would like to find more information on this as it did not come with any manuals but i will keep looking. I saw this posting on the forum and about fell out of my seat. I had to send the link to my wife and the boat is famous. We just purchased it on 5-16-2014 and had it delivered to our lake and only had it out once. I will need to change one prop because when it was delivered the salesperson brought a prop with him because the starboard prop looked like they hit something and broke a chuck out of the blade. We are new cruiser owners and I must say this forum may be where we ask many questions.

Welcome aboard ... nice boat.

Air her out good before tabbing - the spark on the jumper could cause a fire ...

Here is one listed near me but it doesn't look to be anywhere near as good of shape as yours. Congrats on the new Trojan

Can someone tell me where the thru hull valve for the toilet would be because I found one valve but it has a warning of a fine and this looks like the inlet hose to the toilet just Leary of opening it with that plaque attached to the floor next to the valve ? I just need to know if that might be the inlet for the toilet

Thanks

Could be outlet for the Lou, a three way valve. Not supposed to dump poop in water unless several miles off coastal shores. On lakes usually is supposed to be secured in off so you wont be tempted to dump.

Does anyone have information about the emergency power parallel switch and distribution box on this trojan boat. I need help understanding the charging system. Do not know if the switch works but the power goes to a grey box between the engines mount on the transom and then connect to the engines?
