I put 100 ft of 1/4" chain + 250 ft of 1/2" three-strand nylon rope on my CD-22 Cruiser with a Quick windlass. Chain weighed 75 lbs. Helped hold the bow down in chop. Hung straight down like you say unless the wind was really up. Used it mostly in inland lakes. Worked great with a oversized...

The link above didn't work for me, but I found this one: https://comoxvalley.craigslist.org/boa/ ... 15301.html Joe. :teeth :thup

They were probably running a motor with the flush hose port open to test the theory that it wouldn't make any difference when the engine alarm went off, indicating an overheat condition. :lol: Olde West Addage:"If ya like to shoot yerself in the foot, go ahead, it's an easy target, and...

Do you suppose there's a check valve in there? (Red highlighting mine.) Joe. :teeth :thup

The staple gun probably requires a very high instantaneous amperage draw, which the generator can't supply. Maybe an electronic / electrical engineer could devise a system with capacitors and diodes to store and deliver the necessary surge (probably harder with AC than CD.) Joe. :teeth :thup

The loose wire theory sounds likely, but hasn't shown to be true, yet. How about the key/ starting circuit? Is there a "click" from the solenoid on the starter when you turn they key? Can you check for power when the key is turned to see if there's power to the starting solenoid? Is there power...

I'm thinking the flushing inlet port is mid-stream from the water pump in the lower unit up to the power head. Leaving that port open will reduce the water flow potential to the power head and the thermostat at the power head outlet into the exhaust stream. You might think it won't hurt until...

I won't try to answer any of your three questions, but your "Restoration" sounds like a great adventure in itself. It would make a great study in the cost of retrofitting and restoring a boat and be a fine instructional read for anyone considering doing such a project. Yours sounds like a...

Yes, definitely. Your options are the same as on the 22 Angler or 22 Cruiser, 75 to 100 or so hp. Single, twins, or a single and a kicker. In fact, that is because the 19 Angler has, amazingly, the same power requirements to perform as the 22 hulls. I don't think they expected this when...

Shouldn't be too hard to devise a washer system, since all you'll need is a water tank, pump, spray fitting, and some hoses, wiring, and a switch. Joe.

Is there room enough around the current window cutouts to round out the curves, making the windows larger, and having a glass shop make safety windows for the new shape/size, and then use the H style rubber gaskets? (Don't forget room for the window wiper motors & mounts and through holes for...

The Bathtub Test Some have counseled me to go to a long-term care home. I was not sure about this. So I decided to ask my long time doctor. So, I awaited my next visit and I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in a Long-Term Care Home?" "Well," he...

OK, who's up for a real project! Take that blown diesel inboard and Volvo outdrive out and add an outboard bracket and a 200-250 hp modern 4-stroke and you're half way home. Then you'd have to modernize the electronics and refurbish all the interior and systems. The $8000 base price looks like...

Inverter generators produce a true sine wave AC current, wheres most other generators produce more of a "square wave' current. This makes a significant difference when running electronic devices and appliances directly off the generator. Inverter generators first generate the square wave...

So: How would 1 liter per nautical mile compare with 1 statue mile per quart? Simplification: 1 liter per nautical mile equals (~) 1 gallon per 4 statue miles, or = 3.5 nautical miles per gallon. (Full Circle) As usual, your mileage may vary! :lol: Joe. :teeth :thup

Be sure to wait for answers with all our TC-255 crew, and especially Thataway Bob, our guru extrodiniare around here! :lol: Joe. :teeth :thup

Just a side-thought: Thataway Bob has mentioned before that the best set-up on the Tomcat 255 is to mount the twin counter-rotating engines in the reverse positions they are usually mounted. Are you aware of this? Also, will you have PermaTrims on the engines for trim control and to lift...
