Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!!
I purchased my 1998 Trojan 400 and have been repairing the engines / gearboxes since ((((
I have been looking for a detailed manual, specifically location of cables, routing of hoses etc as the generic manual has very little information.
Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Re: Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!!
You're probably never going to find a detailed manual like that, but if you ask enough questions you might get the info you need.
Good luck on the project and post up some pics as you go along!

Re: Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!!
I wasn't skinny in the beginning, but the more work I do by myself, the skinnier I get. And feeling older )))
Anyways, I'll get you posted with some pics, hopefully soon the boat will look almost like new.
BTW the prices here are an absolute nightmare, say for the new set of covers I had to fork out $14K AUD .
Here's a screenshot of mine

sergei wrote:Source of the post I'm sure you guys know a lot more than I, wanted to ask about a strange sound, which comes from around the shower area. It only happens when the boat is rocking at bigger waves along its longitudinal axis. It sounds as if there is something loose in some cavity and this relatively heavy object starts hitting the hull. Is it possible that there is some structural joint issue and a relative movement is causing this sound? Your advice is highly appreciated. Cheers
Is it possible it's just water hitting a part of the hull, perhaps a chine, at the same time? Several folks report issues with some extended swim platforms, or where the hull is "hollow" in the aft just ahead of the swim platform and when waves come in from the stern the whole wave "smacks" the underside of the platform or hull sounding like a hammer or a drum.
