    The liquid tie bar valve is what I was needing to make adjustments with but did not even know how to describe our situation. Awesome!!!

    Port Side Bilge Pump Wont Turn Off - Tomcat 255

    Roger We have the live well under the transom seat so there is no access there except through some round access ports down near the lazarettes. My electronics guys is really good at problem solving so while not a boat expert, was able to figure out the problem and get everything disassembled...

    Port Side Bilge Pump Wont Turn Off - Tomcat 255

    This repair was on the 255. We removed the 2 batteries on the port side and the panel underneath to gain access to the Rule 1100 GPH Automatic Pump. Turns out that the bilge pump had separated from the glue holding it to the bottom and fallen over. This caused it to keep running as it was...

    Port Side Bilge Pump Wont Turn Off - Tomcat 255

    Making things more difficult is the fact that the access to the pump is extremely difficult. Battery in the way and it is down in a hole where I cannot even see it. Grrrr. I am meeting my electrician friend who just happened to be in the area. Any suggestions on things to remedy this would...

    01/23 - 01/25 - Seattle Boat Show 2015

    I think we tried to get last minute guest moorage at Bell Harbor last year and were told that they were full. Perhaps its early enough right now to make a reservation. I do think others come by boat and try to stay at Bell Harbor during the show. The marina where Palisades restaurant is...

    Port Side Bilge Pump Wont Turn Off - Tomcat 255

    Came to the marina today and found my batteries drained very low. Its been 9 days since we used the boat and did not hook up to shore power when we left. I know that the fridge does use some battery, but we never had an issue before with the batteries being run low or the pump staying on...

    Streaks in Gel Coat

    We have the Griots Garage random orbital and it works well. The design keeps one from burning the gelcoat by having a mechanism which keeps one from being able to apply too much pressure. If one is trying to remove heavy oxidation (neglect), you might be better off with a traditional buffer...

    Another Stupid Question

    Good thing you didn't puncture that water tank in the process of cutting the hole, otherwise you would be faced with making a much larger hole.

    List to Starboard

    If you installed a incline o meter, you could determine how much lean you are experiencing in terms of degrees. I put one in both boats and am easily able to get the boat to level when underway. In your case, you could determine just how much lean there is at rest. One of the great things...

    Raised Roof Question

    What became of the project? Did you have any drawings of what you were trying to accomplish. I too would love to have a lip on the 255 house for staying dry at the fore end of the cockpit.

    Cabin sides improvement

    Any close up shots of the interior after the paint was applied. I am looking into this as an alternative to the Mascoat insulation which worked extremely well, but was costly and very time consuming to apply.
