Subject: Trapper 500 - Re-engine options

This question has probably featured before...but I am very interested to know the best options for re-engining my Trapper 500 (No.252 'Florence' based on the Blackwater) which is still with the original 1975 Yanmar YSE 8. Is there a replacement that doesn't require a new shaft & P bracket and fits onto the existing mountings with a minimum of fuss? What is the preferred make? What are the likely costs? ...and I'd be glad of any general re-engining advice..

proud to announce I am the new owner of Exposure. Now at Foynes on shannon estuary. Very new at this game and will need all the help I can get. I have rigged the genoa sheet to run through a single block attached at the very back of the gunnel. Should the sheet be inside or outside the handrail.As it is the pull is off centre and it is not possible to turn the winch handle full circle. Should I have a genoa track and slide? Someone must have cracked this!

We have had the mast repaired and hope to launch on Wednesday ...
Our boat is immaculate but very bare inside. Any advice about storage would be appreciated - eg
1.Is it ok to make fixings through the lining?
2.There are very shallow lift-out trays along each side of the cabin - seem too shallow to be useful. Do people add bungees or bars to keep eg books, plates, safely tethered?
3. Net storage seems a good idea - maybe along sides of forepeak. Where can you get these? No sign of storage nets in any catalogue I've browsed.
4. We've bought some plastic boxes to fit under cockpit. any other suggestions welcome.
4. Our water "tank" is 15 litres, rigid black jerrycan under stbd bunk. Probably original. Need bigger - what have others done?
5. We have no table, and are considering a loose folding one. What did the boat have originally - what have people found to be good?
Again, many thanks.

Subject: TS240 mast - weight and ease of stepping


Author:
Henry and Mary Brown
[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 8/08/04 17:44:40

We've just bought a 240 and sad to report we have had a disaster with our first attempt at raising the mast …
We are worried that the mast is actually too heavy – it’s a replacement. It's a Z spars mast we think - weight 2.3kg per metre.
Does anyone know what the original 240 mast weighs?

First we couldn’t easily support the end of the mast when moving it back to put in the pin. When it rested on the crosstree the foot was too high for the base plate and pin and it could not easily be brought down to the base plate because the coach roof and gooseneck fitting were in the way. We managed to raise the end of the mast using the spinnaker pole and a rope pulley, but could only do so because by chance there was a raised bank behind the boat. Otherwise we couldn’t have lifted the end in order to locate the mast to put the pin through. Perhaps a vertical extension to the crosstree is an answer to this problem.

Having managed that, we then tried to raise it. We fitted the two small A frames to the toe rails on either side of the boat and attached halyards from the top of the mast. Big mistake here - didn't twist the split halyard to stop it running through. Ouch! The top of the A frames were in line with the mast step pin. We then fixed a strut to the base of the mast and stayed it to the two A frames with the forestay attached. Having fixed the back stays we then tried to raise the mast by a rope from the top of the stayed strut, through the bow roller and back to a foresail sheet winch. It was enormously heavy and we could only manage by using the winch (we’d been told by the vendor that it didn’t need eg block and tackle, and could be pulled up by hand.) When it was about half way up the rope staying the strut parted, the halyard ran through and the mast fell sideways wrenching the base of the mast out of its rivets. We can see various things we got wrong but the thing that most surprised us was the weight involved. Maybe we’re getting old.

Any comments and advice welcome - also about getting repairs done - although we'll be on to that tomorrow. These things always happen at 5pm on Friday ...
Many thanks

Hello

Much Ado (T500) has hanked on headsails which I've always preferred because they set better. When I look at other yachts sailing with part furled headsails they always look as though they have too much draft and have odd stretching around the tack and the head. I can see there are advantages in being able to furl the sail safely from the cockpit but is it easy to change the sail to suit the wind or is it just much hassle for the crew. I've thought about twin forestays so two different sails can be bent on and lashed ready for use. I don't mind the foredeck work but often I don't have other experienced helmsmen/women and have to call on others to do the work and the genoa is a lot of canvass for some to handle in a wind. What's your experiences?

I wouldn't like to think I had an unfair advantage over my other clubmates, so I would like to set the record straight!

Hi All,

Have been struggling with Honda 10hp of 80's vintage but good condition. Took two of us to lift it into the well with much rocking and swiveling. ( Thanks Brian! hope you didnt get a hernia.)

Have decided I must trade it in for lighter unit with tighter dimensions so that I can easily fit it myself under most conditions. Since mud berth cannot even leave it in position once fitted.

Can anyone advise from their experience on suitable units (Size/weight/performance/reliability). Is a long shaft best?

My sailing will encompas 6knot ebb tides in the harbour and coastal cruising.

I dont mind mixing Two stroke fuel ( particularly since there is a price advantage!!) Or perhaps I need persuading of the merits of 4 stroke?

Cheers
Paul
PS Have now sailed boat for first time - what delightful balance and feel with ( with rudder blade fully forward)

I have recently bought an early Trapper TS240, hull number 007.

I have read the article in PBO about replacing the mild steel box on top of the keel, but this article doesn't really show enough detail for me. Does anyone have any experience of accessing the box? Mine appears to have plenty of metal still there, but I would like to be able to inspect it a bit more thoroughly. It is very rusty in places from what I can see, but there is still about a 1/4 inch of steel there. Are there any drawings in existance of the set up?

I guess these have been changed on a few Trappers by now, it seems to be a slightly weak design by using mild steel in this environment.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Folks,

Now that we have all moved on a bit and probably most of us have improved our email anti virus anti spam software I thought I would revisit this.

I see that people are now publishing their telephone numbers on the forum in an effort to make contact, personally I would have thought that more open to abuse.

We can continue as we are, or we can revert back to showing the email addresses on the postings. If we do revert back, no posting made during the incognito phase will suddenly have email addresses apended, it will only apply to new postings and postings that were here before I switched the facility off.

My own view is that it would be helpful, but I will be open to persuasion either way, after all, it is your views that matter.

Hello all

I'm just learning how a 500 likes to be sailed and her handling characteristics. I would appreciate any hints as to what sail she'll carry in what wind. I was sailing last Sunday with full main and full genoa beating 45-60 degrees in 16-21kts apparent wind with 5-5.8 knts on the log. She wasn't feeling over pressed (actually it was brilliant)but I was starting to think when should I shorten. I've opted for fixed head sails and single line slab reefing. I've got a No.1 genoa, a sizable working jib and a storm jib and 2 reefing points in the main.

Date Posted: 10/11/03 23:40:35

Hello to the world of Trapper yacht owners. I am the chap who finally bought BARECAT. Trapper 300 MkII, hull #003. I have had the hull stiffened in way of the keel and the keel re-fitted. In the process I found some evidence of some VERY poor quality control/building methods applied to this fundamental part of the boat, such as the fitting of only 5 out of the 6 keel nuts!

I am now having to turn my attention to the attachment of the forestay to the hull to prevent the failure of the FRP deck moulding through forestay tension. Has anyone taken their forestay through the deck to be attached to a tang fitted to the stem of the hull itself?

An alternative that I am considering is the replacement of the stemhead fitting with a more substantial stainless steel fitting, incorporating a larger stemhead roller and a centreline web for the forestay to be attached to, but as you will know, the yacht is very fine in the bow and one of the concerns is the access to the roller when anchoring with a roller reefing drum in close proximity immediately above.

Finally if there are T300 owners out there who would like to take advantage of my discussions with stainless steel fabricators and would be up for reducing the 'piece' price of a replacement stemhead fitting, with a view to taking their rig tensions down to the hull rather than lifting their deck moulding; please contact me in the next week or so.

I'm sure all you good people use your boats far more than I do so never have this problem but it was a surprise to me.

Last winter I had a vibration on the shaft which I took to mean I needed a new cutlass bearing.

However I was chatting to a Bukh service agent about it who is also a member of the yacht club (I was going to scrounge his cutlass bearing removing kit for taking them out without removing the shaft) and he told me it was limescale.

I expressed surprise but took the shaft out anyway to have a look. As he said, there was a build up of lime on the shaft.

Now this winter I was showing someone round the boat and he asked me to put her in gear. A God awful noise ensued and my prospective purchaser went pale.

I said Oh I know what that is, it's limescale.

I'm not sure he believed me but I know that noise, when she comes out it will be easily fixed.

My real question though is why do I get limescale? The boat has been in the marina for 7 months now and that's the first time I've turned the prop (you can see why I'm selling now) but is that all it takes?

I know you get limescale round the miniscus of the water in a toilet if you don't disturb it, but this is in a cutlass bearing underwater.

Any chemists out there?

Has no -one else seen Yachting press then? with the A-Z and giving a whole page and a bit to the likes of us???
One thing though, Am I being a bit dense or has the winter sailing frozen the little grey cells solid. in the description of the T250, I am not sure if the writer is saying that the 240 was more stable or the 250?. ALSO (While your all laughing at my stupidity,) On my 240, the rudder bits are bolted straight on to the transom where as, in the picture of the 250 in the Mag it looks like the top rudder fitting is an A frame of some sort. can any -one confirm this and maybe even tell me why. I do have the problem that if I let the helm go, the rudder slams over EITHER way, under sail or power, and by making the rudder stock more vertical, would help prevent this. as I have a piece of shock cord to prevent movement of the rudder as the rudder slamming over on its own accord, did infact put me aground(Now you know why I NEED a lifting keel???)
Any ideas would be most gratefully received by my wife who has to explain "the funny words daddy said" to my daughter

Perhaps I'm just getting old and cranky but I'll let you decide.

I put a for sale and wanted page up on the website because people suggested it. There was a suggestion that people would contribute something if this made them a sale but I assumed it never has done or somebody would have said.

I was quite pleased to find that my own ad on the website generated several contacts though the guy that got closest to buying came through a commercial website.

These days I quite often get the details of a boat sent to me with no other text at all. No please, thankyou, some times not even a "hi my name is".

Perhaps I've worded the thing on the website incorrectly, I'll consider changing that text when I update it shortly.

I'd have thought, though, that even if people thought this was a commercial venture they would have said something.

It is related, I suppose, to the issue about the guy who pinched the pic of securus off the website to sell his own boat without a by your leave.

Perhaps the world moved on at some point and I got left behind!

Anyway, the good news is that we are experimenting with a new website, and if I'm happy that has a future there won't be a need to send me updates.

I have a question for someone with access to their T500 - mine is 700km distant.

I am renewing my washboards and am utilising some marine ply I already have. However, it is only 10mm thick while the original is 12mm. I intend to face the externally-facing side with some 6mm thick teak strips. As I do not have the measurement of the slot within which the boards run (I did note it but left it on board) I am unsure if I can teak face to the edge and leave, face to the edge and plane down a mm or two, or start only at the exposed area, circa 25mm in from the side edges. I realise I should have some play for expansion but could some kind person measure the actual slot width for me.

Many thanks in anticipation.

After many a hard lesson over the summer, I'm guessing that I need to aim for a Trapper 500 / 501, so going to be a while before I manage to save up enough.

In the mean time, I would love to get some experience of sailing a 500 / 501, so if anyone needs an extra pair of hands, be it a day sail or a weekend, please do drop me an email. Obviously I would also pay a share towards berthing/fuel/food etc.

Date Posted: 4/02/04 12:40:17

Hi ALL,
I am in the process of fitting a new Beta 13.5 into "Swiftsure" in Kinsale. I thought I might go "the whole hog" and change to a 3 bladed folding prop-you only live once!

I have just realised that there is very little clearance between the back of the current two blader and the rudder ,when the rudder is turned 180 Deg for reverse! I am unlikely to be able to fit a folding prop for this reason?

Questions

Is it worth considering the folding prop at all. My engine supplier tells me it is woth 3/4 to 1 knot at crusing sped-this is attractive!

Has anyone fitted one successfully? Was it worth it?

Could I simply prevent the rudder from turning 180 with a mechanical stop system and retain the clearance? I would have to wrestle the tiller in reverse!

General question on Props.

On older boats with thick full length keels the shafts were marked so the the prop could be locked in paralled to and in line with keel. Thus minimising drag when sailing(With a two bladed prop).

I am continuously advised to lock my shaft when sailing so the prop does not spin.

My belief is that this only helps if you have the old long keel and the prop can be locked in the shadow of the keel.

I believe that if you allow the prop to spin, free wheel, while sailing that it will revolve, in reverse, at a speed dictated by the current sailing speed. The only energy loss will be the friction in the prop shaft. If you lock the shaft the prop will create much more drag!

I may be stoned to death for this theory! Anyone out there with the facts?


Regards to all,
Ted Power

I'm just in the process of getting my T28 ready for relaunch, I was just going round and checking the rigging last week (even though she had as full survey 2 weeks ago) when I came to the clevis pin holding the forestay to the stem head fitting. It looked a little on the small side to me at 6mm, does that seem reasonable to everyone else ?

As it happens, I don't like it so I'm going down tomorrow to drill out the stem head fitting to take a 10mm clevis pin. Just wondered what size pin everyone elses boat uses ?

Regards, Brian (Blazer '70 T-28)
