Boat junk yards would have original bronze parts from the St. Tropez like props and struts as salvage. Is there one near you? You also need to check that the shaft was not damaged.

Hello all,
Just bought a 1992 St Tropez 3300. It passed a survey with flying colors. Running twin 454s. We absolutely love this boat. My wife is wanting to start decorating the cabin. Anyone know where I can find curtains for the windows and also the window trim in the cabin. The trim on the windows is either sun faded or cracked. The room this boat has is amazing.

Thank you, the wife opted for no curtains since the wrap around windows are so dark you can't see in the boat. As for fixing the window trims with cracks a chopper pilot gave me an idea of laying fiberglass and super glue to mend and then paint.

Do you mean Borg Warner V drives? Located forward of the engines? If so, they use hydraulic fluid like Dextron III.

Hi I am a new 88 Yropaz owner in the process of rebuilding her.
Does any one have any info on fearing the damage from tge holes throughout the stringers .
Currently I am sounding the out and injecting with epoxy and sealing the gold off properly.
No cracks inside the haul, but thousands in the gel coat below the waterline.
Thank you
James

Love my 1988 St Tropaz. And I haven't even put it in the water yet.
Does any one have any info on repairing the stringers.
No craks or anything like that but I can see tge would rotting away in most of the wholes through the stringers.
I am planing to drill small holes 1/4" the insert rubber sleeves with a small balloons inside . The inject epoxy to fill any voices.
Open to other suggestions.
Thanks
James

If fluid is red its dexron lll, if clear or tan its mobil 424 which is what they originally came with. To switch either way system must be filled and flushed 3 times because they can’t be mixed
