King Salmon off Bodega Bay 2011

I replaced ALL of my blade fuses ...inline...fuse box...even Both engines,,,with LED blade fuses that light up when blown...makes it real easy to find the blown one especially if it is one of the mystery line or unmarked fuses..... no trial and error pulling...I found them online...regular and...

Sending you a PM DickE

Bill The rule of having the Right pitch/type props for my Honda 150s on the Tomcat was told to me like this. If you cannot reach 6000rpms @ full throttle with your full boat load. You need to go down on pitch ...a notch I went down from a 19 to a 17..but also took it a step farther with the 4...

I just tested my new 4 blade Honda 4X15X17 aluminum props today on the ShirleyMae....And whooaaa...it runs like a whole new boat...presses you back in your seat like a speedboat out of the hole! Lots of torque...and the top end fully loaded is at 6000rpm...what difference.....Now I will feel...

That under sink bilge pump's float switch was bad and kept running even though there was no water in it and have never used the shower. Had to disconnect it and replace it...pain the A#% to get to....... Not really a safety issue like I thought. Thank you all for your help! Cheers DickE

Thank you all for the help...... I will be addressing the windlass..bumper trim.....And the drain hole in the front bunks looks like a great idea..... California King Salmon season starts This Saturday!!!!...But with 15 Ft swells and 25 kt winds...... we will have to punt and wait for mother...

I looked the manual to no avail and am trying to figure out how the bilge pump under the sink works..or what does it even drain or what is it for????? Under the hatch under the sink....The pump ,with a float switch, sets in an inclosed box. Upon opening it has three hoses,pump and switch. It is...

We had record rain fall in California this year After 2 months setting on a trailer...getting tuned up and polished..I launched last Monday at Bodega Bay and put it in my berth. When I got out...it was listing to one side. I opened her up and it was full of water!! Both front areas under the...

Trolling for salmon in a Tomcat is very easy and productive . I did so well catching salmon off Bodega Bay in 2011 that other fisherman were saying that my "Cat" was the reason I caught more than most others. They said that the design leave a small foot print and is more stealth that other...

Bob& Marc You said that we Alum 4 blade17's "the sized down will seem to be more than the 2". Do you mean the the alum 17's will actually perform like 15's?? my dealer is willing to let me try them out Talked to a gent yesterday that has twin hondas on his heavy Cat...he told me he likes the...

Wide open with the 3X 19s the highest rpm I believe I can go is about 5400rpms@ 37 mph I think I am going to put on Some Honda 4 blade 17s aluminums for a trial run. The shop says that 4 blades will help also with low rpm torque Thanks DickE quote="thataway"]The question I would ask is what...

I got Honda 150's on my Tom Cat with S 3X15X19L Stainless Steel Props I would like to get more torque in the low RPM's Out here off SF the swells can get BIG and if I happen to be out in them I would like to get a little more hill climbing power. Are their any other TC owners Honda 150's that...

My fuel starvation problem solved now I find that the Aluminum housing that holds the grommet is over 1/2 GONE! Very pricey repair $300 for parts alone. Its still hanging on so I'm going to try to reinforce it somehow..metal epoxy ect. The strange thing is the other engines Grommet & house are...

Good idea...any idea where you could buy a 4 inch pice of SS fuel line that has barbs on both ends so you can clamp it to the rubber fuel lines? DickE

I'll take a few photos with my iphone when I get back to my boat Monday. The symptoms of my very frustrating problem with one of my Honda BF150s last year was........ loss of power at cruising speed or higher in my starboard Bf 150...rpms would slowly and intermittently start dropping. During...

With the boat out of the water till Salmon season..I was able to solve the fuel problem that drove me crazy last spring. My Starboard Honda 150 would lose power intermittently when running..but was ok at idle or low speed .After numerous and frustrating attempts and trial and error to find the...
