Harvey, What was the name or paint code of the C-Dory color that was a "dead on match"?

Perhaps it's time for us to agree to disagree and move on? :thup

The 2015 manual for the Honda 135-150 makes no mention of 3000 rpm or 30%, it simply advises to let it warm for 3 minutes. While I may be misinformed about 'my' 2007 Honda 150 outboards, I will continue to follow my 150 owners manual versus Foggy's 90 hp manual. nuff said, and I'm going...

I may be misinformed, but like the OP I have automotive based four cylinder Honda 150 outboards. There is no mention of minimum 3000 rpm in the manual, and if I had to spend 30% of my time above 3000 RPM I mostly would be on plane between visits with the water police. In my area there are...

I chose a Tomcat because it came closest to my wants. All boats are compromises, and I think gulfcoastjohn best summed up the advantages of a Tomcat in a previous string (listed above). FWIW- My Tomcat is the first boat I have 'loved'. Yes, I looked at Ranger, Glacier Bay, WC,Twin Vee...

I also must disagree with your mechanic on not leaving your charger plugged in. I assume your Tomcat is like mine and uses a Guest battery charger that has a maintenance mode that prevents overcharging of batteries. I personally would much prefer to find my two outboards above the water, with...
