I'd suspect electrolysis if condensers are failing. tube in tube (coaxial heat exchangers) are common parts in the HVAC trade. If you know how to recover refrigerant, cut, & braze copper, evac, pressure test, evac, and charge.. you don't need hvac techs :)

Just a note. If the strainers are getting fouled, regular cleaning of the heat exchangers should be part of the routine also.

Fixing little units on boats is about like fixing window units. Nothing strange or unique except they are water cooled condensers. (Water to air & air to water) which any HVAC tech should know about. But truthfully many techs will not venture away from air to air systems. Land based water...

Pros that are too cheap/lazy to have the right equipment that is :D

Some very basic checking is in order. Do you have water flow in and through the condenser? Is the water coming out.. 10 - 15 warmer when in the cooling cycle? Is the discharge air 15- 20 colder then the air going in? (do this at the cooling coil after it's been running 10-15 minutes. We...

15-20 t/d at the cooling coil, not downstream at the outlets.

Co2 sensors do go bad

They run hot, but will get very hot with an over charge from high amperage. more often than not some one over charges the little thing because some one said it needs to be cooled by the refrigerant, which is not really true. Air-conditioning compressors used to need flood back to cool the...

when motoring...

We had a 9ft plastic rowing dink. rowed very well. motored awful. It Did track well but really did put drag on my 30ft sailboat

Many rowing dinks are actually displacement hulled. so yes.. there will be drag.

Skip Thanks! No matter how I search I keep coming back to the Albin 27! next step is to see some in real time. Yes.. you need to be hands on.

Got a message about the F26 "it's junk".

Thanks Peter, I guess there's a reason

Not getting or building wooden boats anymore Willy I do appreciate your love of them just the same. I have a little plywood MOTH dinghy I need to sell BP. I had Boat US on my 82 sailboat. would I even be able get insurance on such an old boat? Yes it would be surveyed if I went for it but...

I sent a message to the commodore of that YC where the boat is. (he's a friend) F26 is actually 28 foot, I guess they include the bowsprit Didn't "F" mean flybridge? What's say I got this boat for next to nothing? (no delam in the keel or stringers) Gad I hate gas fueled boats, assuming it...

It's on Craigslist pea green! 1976 Trojan F26

As mentioned, There's one down the road from me at another YC I may just go see it. $3500 OBO at a YC. I'm guessing it's been sitting for at least 20 years. One guy had a tree growing out of his at my club, until they finally changed the rules on "dead boat society"

Oh... dunno.. looking at the little I can find they need to RIP I could be wrong but they seem to use/need allot more HP then other hulls. sorry about the typos in post #1. I don't get why the edit function is or isn't here sometimes. Thanks for the input!

Not sure they fit in trawler tell of thing but there allot of them out there, quite old mostly gas fueled also, many of them look like unused in many years types There actually one at another yacht club near me (1976 w/351 Ford) Just wondering what anyone can tell me about them and NO...

Canoes do not tow well.l Low speed would be OK but use a bridle from under the bow, from the top would contribute to it rolling over.

Built in time delay? That is a pretty common reason people don't understand controllers on equipment as things have become more and more electronic. Don't know about Wabasto but a 5 minite time delay can seem like eternity when you are staring at the damn thing on the wall /bulkhead "on" =...

It's NOT ABOUT THAT

They just look clustaphobia inducing and the port lights are non opening?

Rule of thumb 4-500 sq ft of floor area per 12,000 btuh well insulated tight construction with solar shading it can go to 700 sq ft
