DVD on Triumph how-to's and maintenance

NCangler · #1 (**permalink**) 02-16-2007, 10:19 AM

Hi folks. As many of you know I am a Film/Video Producer by profession and have recently started my own production company again. I'm planning to produce a video this spring in cooperation with Merritt Marine on general maintenance and procedures for owners of Triumph Boats. Here are some of the items we thought we would try to cover:

How to apply stickers to Roplene
How to repair scratches or gouges by welding Roplene
Buffing Roplene to shine (if you want to)
How to replace screws with Roplene powder
How to use Rule Elastomeric for sealing
Where to install a transducer
Lacing a t-top
What to look for in trailer maintenance
Prop removal and checking for debris
Consider installing an on-board battery charger system
Techniques for mounting down riggers
Cleaning the bilge pump
Installing Transom drains
Lower unit maintenance
Winterizing your Triumph
And more...

What a great idea!!! When can I buy one, before spring???

I'm a visual learner and that would help with alot of questions down the road. How about instaling a second battery on a 170cc and a bow mount trolling motor? Also how about instaling a water/fuel filter? Wow can't wait. Thanks, Bob
P.S I'll go buy a couple of t shirts to help fund it!!

For those of us that are new to boating and new to a Triumph something like this would be great!

Where do I send my money - I will pre-order!

If it helps I will pre-order also.

Wow, I guess I need to schedule a hard date for shooting and putting the editing on the schedule. I think I could have it completed and ready to duplicate by the end of April at the latest. Thank you for the enthusiastic response!

I should have thought about the fuel/water filter and second battery. Good suggestions. Keep the ideas coming. We may not be able to add everything in the first video but it will help to know what folks want visual information on the most so we can start there.

For my current 170 CC purchased new 2002 I would not buy a vidio. Am wishing and shopping for 195 CC. As vidio may apply to specifics on the 195 series I would be very interested.

I,m interested i would love to see the more difficult items like transom drains for the 210 and how to install trim tabs. im a do it yourself guy i can always figure it out but having a video (for the look out for this stuff) would be great.

Feejer, send me a PM on where you're located and a link to any work you've done that might be posted online somewhere. I'd love to see it.
