    Honda Digital Gauge Trouble

    It has to be from the motors. If I have gallons used and GPH, I dont understand how I could not have MPG and miles traveled. Obviously I have miles traveled on the GPS and can do the math for the MPG, but it should be working as before. Something has stopped this from working. Fred

    TomCat steering hydraulic fluid spray

    We also are leaking steering fluid. At first I thought it was just coming from the filler cap. We replaced that and see that the fluid is still leaking at the rear of helm in large amounts. Based on the info shared here, I question weather to replace seals or replace the entire helm? Fred...

    Towell Rack

    If you mount on the highest part of the wall like I did, you can just bolt it on. The Roof Cap hides the holes, nuts, everything and no messing with 5200. Fred

    Access to rear of water tank on 2007 Tomcat

    Thanks to you all for the ideas. Marks (ShiRoz) suction cup idea did the trick! Lifted the tank up and slid her right back into place. She is ready to be filled this spring. Fred

    Access to rear of water tank on 2007 Tomcat

    I need to access the back of the water tank in my 2007 Tomcat. Unfortunatley, there is no access to the rear of tank. I would need to open the hatch located under the dinete and cut thru the floor under the hatch to get to the water tank. The reason is that the tank has shifted forward up and...

    It is the full camper canvas top with sides. I had a local boat top company install, though he was not excited to install the work of another shop.

    Custom Sunbrella Cover for TomCat 255

    Hello Mike, I have a 2007 Tomcat. I have a top that I ordered from King MArine Canvas in Seattle WA. He has the pattern and made them for C-Dory. He shipped mine up to ALaska and I really like it. It is heavy duty 1 inch SS tubing. Fred

    Purchasing a Boat to Share?

    I think the biggest issue will always be the cost of maintenance and repairs. If you establish an hourly rate that each owner contributes for each hour of boat use, based upon the boats hour meter, you can have a maintenance fund that will be there when you need it. He who uses her the most...

    Kayak Rack Installation Help

    Retriever, I am not sure about the core. I am thinking the area to the sides of the center and out to the edge of the roof are not cored. I was hoping one of the other Tomcat owners would drill a couple test holes in their roof just for fun!!! The kayaks are 39 pounds each, so that is 25...

    Retriever, this is the same install I have in the works on my Tomcat. After one season without a permenant rack, this should make load and unloading a breeze. Fred

    Kayak advice needed...

    Retriever, Last year (first year with the kayaks) we just used the rubber kayak saddle mounts and tied them down snug over the top and at each end. This was not easy or fast. I will have to look for pics. This year, if it ever gets warm enough, I will install 4 (2 on the port and 2 on the...
