Hello everyone. Does anyone know what the Sunbrella color is for the blue cushions in the TomCat? --- mike

Hi Bill. Did you order this? I am thinking about the same thing, but am looking at their Workmate 2 seat, because it is wider chair. --- mike

Brian, thanks for posting this! I will check mine asap. What should I look for? I should be able to get a hand on them through the round access holes in the small cockpit steps (or those above). --- mike

Hello to all. I have to trailer the TomCat for an 8-hour journey. I had planned to travel with the outboards (Honda BF150s) tilted up on the tilt-lock levers. But I was looking at the manual, at it says to leave the motors down if possible. And to use a motor support bar if not possible...

Joe, thank you for the tip on DSG. I emailed their sales manager today and... he wrote back! Not only that, he provided the part number, price, and said to give them a call to order it. Wow! I am really impressed. Their sales manager took the time to reply to a end-user who is looking for...

Neat. I wonder of two of them would support the weight of a generator (on some sorta platform). --- mike

Hello everyone. I am missing one of the screw-knobs that hold open the forward window (TomCat 255). I wrote the factory about purchasing a replacement, but never heard back. Does anyone here know who makes this window? If so, I'll try to get it from them directly. --- mike

And don't forget to fix or remove those damn fish boxes! :) --- mike

Your coaming boxes are glassed in? That is unfortunate as it limits your options. Wonder why they did that. Perhaps there was good reason. Well at least you don't have those darn round hatches in your lazarettes! :) --- mike.

And the hatch under the Galley is too far forward to help? If you can't get at it by removing the coaming box, and you can't get at it from the galley, then maybe cut a hole and install a round access hatch forward in the starboard fish box? Check out Dreamers photo album here for just such a...

Can you get at it if you pull the starboard coaming box? As an aside, I have often pondered cutting out those damn fish boxes. :) --- mike

Hahaha! That's funny! Thanks for the laugh, Joe. :) --- mike

I've been busy lately. It looks like I missed out on some of the fun around here. :) Dr. Bob is correct. We really don't want BP to crumble. We need them to do as they have promised: do everything they can to stop the oil flowing into the gulf, and then we need them to clean up the disaster...

That's interesting. If only I could find a faucet that retracts down into the cabinet when a cushion needs to be atop the sink. Hmm. That's a neat idea. So, you would vent the unit through a flexible hose out the side or top? --- mike

For me, it's likely to be just on weekends. --- mike

I think I'll check with a few boaters at the marina and see if they use Salt Away or anything else when they flush. Maybe it's one of those "we aren't supposed to, but everyone looks the other way" things. Otherwise it looks like my only option is to tilt up the outboards and flush (through...

So are you guys using Salt Away or Vinegar to flush when your boats are in the water? I ask because we are going to be parked in a slip (brackish water) for the next five months, and won't have any easy way to get the boat out to flush the outboards. And as I mentioned above, I think the...

I didn't know about either! By the way, I don't have a Wallas. I have the other thing that we will never use. The sink will be useful, though. I'll have to look for pictures to see if I can find how the sink under the cushion works out. In the end, it isn't my preference to change the...

Dave, thanks for starting this thread. I have been wondering about this myself. Our boat will be in brackish water for 5 months or so. I have been looking at Salt Away, but don't see how I would flush the outboards or even spray them down there in the slip. And I am sure there is something...

Not any more loud than the generator. Still, this would be closer to head level. Or out through the roof maybe. I keep pondering the Portable atop the galley idea. It has merit. Did I mention that the Admiral wants me to rip out the galley in favor of more seating/berthing? :shock: --- mike
