Water cooled exhaust setup on my Trojan F32
706jim Thu Dec 21, 2023 11:59 am
The attached images show how I went about cooling the exhaust from my OS 40M engine as installed in a Dumas F32 Trojan model. When the top deck is installed there would be considerable heat built up from the exhaust if no cooling were provided. Essentially, there is a 5/16" brass tube inside a 3/4" brass tube and the ends are soft soldered to provide a simple method of circulating the water. Built this model in 1988.

It flew my Sterling Fledgling for years when I was a club member in Florida. I charged it up this morning for about four hours and pluged it in. Two servoes and it works perfectly. It will take three for the boat. I will cycle it several times over the next couple of days. The nicads seem to be fine and I replaced them about three or four years ago.
Segmented ring on right I believe is the starter cord that came with it.
Good to see so many fine boats show up here. Makes me sad that I sold my "fishing pole" boat due to an impending move. 36" long, too big at the time but now I wish I had found room for it.
Robert, I will devise some sort of a rudder, probably luan sanding sealed and varnished. I have some micro servoes that would fit fine and a spare Futaba.

Becomes interesting.
My son did a little more research on the $35 flea market MRC boat. Seems it sold for $259 back in 1978 fully equipped with an Enya .35 marine engine.
These stanchtions must be for the forward deck rails. This one registers in NJ, home of MRC. Magazine is Florida.

Amazing variety of propellers Robert. Specialized uses.
This outboard friendly cabin cruiser is for sale on ebay right now, but at $266 a little unfriendly for me.
