Trojan Boat Forum

The searchlight and mount were toast when I bought the boat. The searchlight worked but didn't turn.
Took it apart and worked on the clutches and it's as it should be. It was also a rusted mess. Sanded it down, primed and painted it, and it looks like new.
For the mount I used white oak, shaped it, stained it, and coated it. Waiting to get the shrink wrap off the boat to install it.

Big difference from where It started.

Original mount

A couple more projects.

New Bow pulpit. Again with white oak. Planning on putting an anchor roller in it this summer. Get the anchor off the deck. Also a windless eventually.



Refinished the fly bridge captains chairs. Believe it or not with upholstery paint. We'll see about longevity?
The anodized aluminum pieces were pitting. So I sanded smooth and painted them. I know that part will last a while.
You can see the rest of the removable and refinished cabin trim scattered around.
