Yes, that's what I meant. So I should plan to not have that window open. There is no way I can have seawater splash through that window without shorting something out. Matt, on a hot day, are the side windows enough ventilation while under way? Do you get hot days up there? :) It has been...

Hello to all. Fellow TomCat owners, do you ever have seawater splash through the forward window? I ask because I am planning some electrical work below there, which obviously can't get wet. If it is only a problem in heavy seas, I can close the window of course. But if it happens even in...

Yeah, but when it fails, I'll have a hard time getting it fixed. And, the hole in the roof may not be the right size to easily switch to another unit. I think the Coleman Polar Mach is the way to go now. I'm going to order one up tomorrow. --- mike

Reviving this thread to say that I am very grumpy on a Saturday morning! I decided to move ahead with the Carrier AirV install, and guess what? Carrier has discontinued all AirV models! Apparently they have gotten out of the RV air business. So, now I need to take a look at the...

I know it's not on your list, but have you looked at Float-On? I'm really happy with mine. It is substantial. --- mike

That looks interesting, but I am considering mounting a 6" cleat inside the cockpit high on the inwale there near the upper fuel line access port. I would then use chafe guards to protect the gunwale. I'd be interest to get some feedback on this idea. --- mike

That's sounds interesting. Do you sell them yet? --- mike

No one has any thoughts on this adapter? Maybe they don't exist? --- mike

Thanks all for the replies. They have been quite helpful. I can see how having lines already tied to the forward and aft cleats and secured in the cockpit would really be helpful. I am definitely going to try that. I am also thinking about how to solve the lack of midship cleats problem...

I am really hoping that Bill's Llebroc works out, because I absolutely do not want a vinyl or leather seat. So Bill, I am anxiously waiting to hear how it goes. :) --- mike

Just an update: I moved the boat yesterday, using these products. Went very well. They were a great investment. Thanks again for the suggestion! :) --- mike

Hello to all... Just reviving this thread to say that I found a box which seems to be the solution to get analog signals and tach from the BF150s onto the N2K backbone. It's the Noland RS11, which arrived today. I'll let you know how it goes. --- mike

Wow - she can hook a cleat? She must have good aim. :) The tomcat doesn't have that, but I could probably mount one on the gangway. I would have to first grind down the tread-stuff though. It's a shame the factory did not put a cleat amidships. To reduce stumble-factor, they could have set it...

As we approach putting the Accelerando in its slip, I am beginning to ponder lines, fenders and docking aids. And so I have a some questions: For the midships (well roughly) fender, I assume you tie it to the vertical handrail, yes? If so, I assume you use a chafe guard on that line, yes...

I received my m-ywedges and centering clips. Awesome! Thanks all for the suggestions! --- mike

Hello Warren. Thanks for the reply. There are other reasons I plan to change the wheel. Still looking for some sort of steering shaft adapter. But no luck finding out yet. --- mike

Ok. Please let us know how it goes. Their seats are exactly when I am looking for, but the height, as you pointed out, is a real issue. --- mike

Thanks all for the help. It is indeed Mediterranean Tweed. --- mike

Hello to all... I want to replace the stock wheel for one with an integrated "maneuvering knob". I know there are several stainless steel wheels out there with knobs, but I think that holding on to a stainless steel wheel will get uncomfortable after a while, and maybe slippery when the...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I ordered the my-wedges and also their hydraulic steering centering clips. --- mike
