Hello Dr. Bob. How did you like the SeaSport 32? I am just curious. I looked for more info on the Chilcat, but could not find any. --- mike

Regarding the Flowscan, it looks neat, and I much prefer it over the Honda Meters. Especially nice is that one meter can handle the tach for both outboards, including hours and fuel level/flow for each (actually I think it gives you combined flow). I am looking for more space on the helm and...

Hello Merv. One of my concerns is how readable the gauges are. Are you saying that when the backlight in on, is it bright enough to view in sunglasses on a bright day? --- mike

Hmmm. Anyone know anything about these? They say they are Honda compatible. --- mike

True, but since it is a multifunction meter, I think it makes sense to have two. I am hoping to eliminate all the analog meters I have now. Maybe that is not practical? --- mike

I have seen the Seasport Pacific 3200 on their site. It looks very nice. Who knows. Might be my next boat. :) They have definitely built more than one of these; there are quite a few for sale now on the web. --- mike

Hello All. Finally -- after a year and a half, our TomCat finally has a name. Earlier in the thread I mentioned that we really wanted to pick a name that kept with the musical theme. Well, after much consideration we have chosen Accelerando, which means to increase the tempo (speed), which...

Ok, I found the Honda electronic gauges (06373-ZY3-800 and 06375-ZY3-800), but they are definitely ugly and expensive. And as Matt pointed out, I'll need 2 of each. Yuck! The only positive thing here (besides getting fuel flow) is that I'll recover some of the space on my helm by consolidating...

If only there was a TomCat 29. :) Actually, I would love a power cat version of Aiviq! --- mike

I am hoping all the wiring is already there. It would make sense to use the same harnesses for all installs. --- mike

Hi Charlie. That's a barely used c-70 (maybe 20 hours on it), and I'm pulling it soon. --- mike

Matt, it looks like you are right. Looks like my only option is the Honda Electronic gauges. I'll look into those. Thanks. --- mike

I do like the way you mounted your generator. In the end I'll probably do something similar. That's a good point. I really have not been thinking about the other advantages on having the generator. On the air conditioner itself, if I didn't have so many hands aboard, I would definitely...

Hello everyone. I have Honda BF150 outboards on the TomCat, and I am wondering what my electronic monitoring options are. Currently I have gauges for RPM and trim, but no fuel flow monitoring. I'd like to get as much data as I can on an electronic display, something like Bad Boy has here with...

No - I had not seen that thread! The site search and I don't get along very well. :) That was very informative, thanks for posting the link! Lot's of great suggestions there, especially one from Joe: :D --- mike

Hi Alok. Thanks, I really do appreciate the advice. But going with the 2000 instead of the 2400 wouldn't solve the problem, because I have no interest in hauling around a 50lb generator either. :) In either case I would still want to mount it somewhere. And, I'm not quite ready to give on...

Hi Eric. Thanks for the advice, but the only reason I want to install a generator is to power the air conditioning, not for anchoring out. So the question is not whether to have a generator, it is whether to have air conditioning. It's not quite summer yet, and we were in the mid 90s here...

It is interesting how much of a quandary this generator is causing me. Mostly because I want to mount it permanently somewhere and be done with it. I really don't want to haul a 75lb. generator around every time we head out to the boat. Mounting it on the Armstrong bracket appears to be the...

Yes, I remember seeing that. I think it's an interesting plan. But those hatch covers would really have to be watertight, because as Dr. Bob has pointed out, putting holes in our fish boxes defeats the whole purpose of a self bailing cockpit. I don't have a middle support under the galley...

Neat. I'll have to check those out. I have pretty much given up on that plan. Currently, it looks like it will be the Yamaha EF2500iSHC. Also why I don't want to install a marine air conditioner. :) --- mike
