The current ownership looks solid: http://www.canmet.com/products-services/marine And it's Canadian! Here's the Rocna site: http://www.rocna.com/ --Georgs

Hey, Richard, that's quite an endorsement! If the Rocna works for you on the Inside Passage, suspect it will work for me, initially on Lake Ontario, Thousand Islands, Rideau and Trent-Severn waterways, eventually in Canadian Maritimes and New England. I'll wait a few more comments before I...

Bob and others-- In poking around this forum for advice on anchors, I see there is a definite preference for the Manson Supreme or Manson Boss. To replace the Fortress on my TomCat, I've been looking at Rocna, specifically the 22-lb Rocna 10. West Marine currently prices the Rocna at less than...

Mea culpa. It was my typo at the beginning of this thread that started the "rader" discussion. I tried to correct it by introducing "Radar selection" as the subject line but the board reverts to the original. Fortunately, the typo in the subject line doesn't impair a search, as can be seen...

Thanks, Bob, I'll file that one away for when the time comes. --Georgs

I hear you, Harvey, I hear you! As Bob suggested, I'm going to play around with mock-ups as the next step. And thanks for the input on the necessity of a radar arch. I'll revisit that topic later in a separate thread on how to carry an inflatable dinghy on the roof of a TomCat 24. --Georgs[/img]

Glad to see you chime in, Bob, as I much respect your viewpoint. Technically, I am not yet "planning" to do the Down East Circle Route. I'm just "thinking" about it. The Garmin GPSMAP 840xs Chartplotter/Sonar is my lead candidate at the moment. The unit size of the 1040xs--14" wide and 9"...

Here are links to the radars cited by members in the thread “Is broadband radar the way to go?” Garmin 18 xHD (mentioned twice) https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-water/radar/gmr-18-xhd-radome/prod86235.html Lowrance Broadband 3G (mentioned twice)...

Thanks to all who have responded to my inquiry about broadband radar. Lots of points pro and con. Is everyone running 18-inch radomes? Is 24 inches simply too big? Is an open array out of the question on boats as small as ours? The Garmin GMR 18 HD Radom has caught my eye, in poking around...

I haven't owned a boat equipped with radar since 1989 so consider myself a newbie. Thinking of taking the TomCat, in a year or two, into cruising areas where fog is a factor. After a few days of poking around here and on other forums, 4G Broadband Radar by Lowrance/Simrad seems to be worthy of...

Looking for information on any C-Brats who have completed the Down East Loop. http://www.yachtpilot.ca/route.html <http://www.yachtpilot.ca/route.html> Below seems to be all I can find in archives. Has anyone actually completed the route? Starting to think about for 2017. --Georgs

Thanks, Tim, for your advice. I'm inclined also to leave it be, except for maybe some moth balls inside lockers. Will also take a look at mouse poison. Until we overnight aboard, won't really know if there are critters stowed away. Your videos bring back many happy memories of the years I...

Yikes! I took the winter cover off my TomCat 24 to discover styrofoam bits in the bilge. It's difficult to see but it seems the flotation placed amidships in the bilge has been attacked by a small rodent, chewing the plastic covering to get at the styrofoam. The bits that I could reach filled...

Bob and others-- I ran the Tomcat at cruising speed (4,200 RPM 22 MPH) for 30 minutes twice today. At idle, both engines register about 100F on my IT gun. After 30 minutes, the problem engine warms up to 125F at the top cylinder, 110F at bottom. The other engine stays around 100F. I only have...

Hello, Bob! Only the starboard engine is affected. By 75%, I mean about 75% of full-strength stream. Which I can see on the port engine. The impellers were replaced about a year ago, maybe 30 hours ago. Records not at hand. I'll have to get my hands on an IR thermometer and the string you...

Ahoy, C-Brats! Despite my best efforts, the telltale stream on my starboard Yamaha 100 is peeing at about 75% at all engine speeds. I only have six more boating weekends this season before the TomCat goes up on the hard and can be fully inspected. Am I at risk of damaging the Yamaha if I...

Doug-- The Wallas-Marin invoice number 21342, dated 2001.07.31, has 95DU written in as "type" and then crossed out and revised to 125DU in the same handwriting. The serial number on the invoice is S/W or S/N 3847. There's a Scan Marine stamp on the invoice. Can you say which model I really...

Well, now we have a mystery on our hands--and the solution was indeed magical! I'm not on the boat so cannot look for additional numbers but the TomCat is nine years old, so the stove would be a 2001 or 2002 model. Let me get back to you, Doug. --Georgs

Wow, Jody is a magician! Wallas now working just fine, cabin nice and toasty despite outside temp in the 40s. Thank you, Jody! --Georgs
