Trojan Boat Forum

I was rummaging through a bin of stuff I brought home from my new-to-me F32 and found this! I was impressed to see some of the factory documentation hand written. You sure don't see that anymore. The manual looks just about complete; there are a few electrical schematics in the back. I would like to give them another look to see if I can get a better idea of how things are connected. Nothing about plumbing however, but there is a list of where all the sea-cocks are located. Of course after 37 years and 2 or more previous owners, who knows how much is left in tact?

There is a lightweight Chrysler manual on there as well.

I have an older survey document that said the motors were 318's, but my USCG Document has the motors at 250HP. I was originally disappointed that this vessel did not come with the 360's but I was impressed that the 318 pumped out 250 horses when my Slickcraft's 302's were rated at 215. But this document confirms that she does indeed have the 360's. She wont be a rocket, but she should move pretty good especially given that this is a hard-top sedan (no fly bridge)

That's a good thing to find for sure . FWIW 318s where 225 hp and the 360s where 250 hp . hopefully you still have the 360s . Easy mistake by the surveyor as the look the same . Enjoy the new boat .

congrats on the find, My new to me tri cabin also had the manual, one had a cover like yours and the other was plain. Both were essentially the same. The instructions within covered f32, f36 sedan and tri cabin, making pdf's of them for anyone that would want them. Wonder if we could put things such as this in the sticky area?

BJ,

What year is your F32?

Larry, love a copy of any/all PDF's relating to F32...

Thank you in advance.

Paul can "sticky" any post you have with links to original manuals.

Beacon marine sells the books

That was what I was afraid of, they need the profit.

Although these books are far better than the one I bought from them, of course it is a different boat.

It's a 1978.

The 318 was a popular motor in it's time. I had a '78 Chrysler when I was a teen with a 318. That motor took a pounding.

The serial numbers the surveyor used matches what is in this factory manual so it looks like they are the 360's after all.

I going to make a pdf of this as well. The book reeks of mildew and the pages seem rather fragile so I am somewhat reluctant to run it through our clunky old copy machine at work. Just to give you an idea of the copy machines reputation, people call it "Bob Marley," because it always be jammin'.

Jammin ... Bob ... love a PDF copy!
