Trojan Boat Forum

Todd, that's great... glad you were able to use the parts. I just uploaded a video and forgot to show the ventilation fans in the video I also did some engine room stuff separately. I eliminated my macerator and had the computer fan brainstorm as I was looking at the switched 12v power source in the bilge.

RWS, both of these are in the cabin so no worries about ignition. They don't provide any cooling but provide continous ventilation. They throw quite a bit of air, easily 2x what the solar vents do.

I'll add some video of those so you can see exactly what I did...

Well I picked a great day to finish stripping the bottom! it was pushing 100 deg here today!!





struts are cleaned up


Shafts are too


Head ready to go back in






Water tank in and ready for the floor



Here is the floor





Tanks with fuel hose waiting patiently to go in



started on backing plates for seacocks

Started laughing as I looked around my shop today! Thought I would share!

What a mess!


Here's the shelf with my canvas and cushions!


Here's my fridge, dinette, galley cabinets, door, dock cords, gen muffler, well you get the idea!!!


My wet bar and helm seats!


Cockpit seat and God knows what else!


Oh dont forget the radar arch!!


OMG i'm speachless!!!





I Think I should seek counseling!!!!!

(By the way Spray Foam insulation should never look like it does in my pics!!! Sprayed the entire shop by myself in one day in the dead of winter with the temp too cold just before we moved in. At the time I said I didnt give a s--t how it looked because it would still do what I need it to do! Now I cringe whenever some sees it! LOL)

funny, i didn;t see any fishing rods in those photos......

RWS

Im jealous of that shop, spray foam and all! Great work going on there!

Todd You are correct mine are 1 7/8" not 1 3/4" was crazy expensive to replace.

Floor and hatches are in!!!

RWS, My rods are collecting dust, but safe!




Surf Rods get out on Occasion! LOL

Been busy! removed the entire bow rail today and hung it from the ceiling of my shop. Generator platform is made,painted and ready to install. Had to remove the cabinet in the head to get to the bow rail bolts as well as the "cubby hole shelfs" in the stateroom. painted the wood that the trim tab pump mounts too as well as the wood that holds the gas tanks in. started removing every screw, bolt, cleat etc on the boat to prep for paint. scrubbed the entire boat down with commett cleaner to assist in removing the wax. AND ITS BEEN A 100+ DEGREE HEAT INDEX EVERY FREAKN DAY THIS WEEK!!!!!!!





Head cabinet removed

Aft Cabin window removed

Had some trouble with the rudder boxes and had to do some glasswork on one of them.

I'm thinking about reducing the size of the wide cockpit coaming pads. My current ones are two colors with piping. I thought about re-using the old ones since the vinyl is in good shape but the wood backing is shot. Since the guys at trojan were alittle too happy with the drill when they installed the pads (5 or 6 holes next to each other to form slits) I decided to glass over all of the holes and start fresh. I figure if I use a tape measure to lay out the holes for the new pads I can greatly reduce the amount of rain and wash water in the bilge. I'm thinking about going with a narrower pad about 4inches wide.

skylites are out. What a PITA!


interior trim ring

I think everyone benefits when members share thier "stuff:" on line on th eforum,, especially when photos and details arew involved.

Hey Todd did you decide if you are installing the sky lights again and if how you are doing it ?

Mike
I was planning on talking to you before I do it. I think I'm going to find some new 1/2 lexan and make new ones again. I figure its easier than cleaning the caulk off the old ones. if you don't mind I will pm you with my cell # . it sounds like you figured out how to stop the leaks.

thanks
Todd

Hey Todd, I have the exact same boat and no pump-out for the holding tank for the head, only the overboard discharge. How is yours set up?
I've been following your project. It's looking great! Mike
