    Good bye to shadow dog.

    I never got to meet you or Shadow Dog, but as I sit here with my "little girl" in my lap, I know that someday all too soon, we will be responsible for making her passing as peaceful and painless as possible. I pray we will be as strong, and our love for her will overcome our desire to keep her...

    Both transducers losing bottom

    Thanks, John. All good information, and I'll definitely be putting it to use. For our purposes, the fancy TM one was meant for future fishing fun at idle speed (we're still a loooong way away from that goal at the moment), while the IH was meant just to give a current depth at speed to confirm...

    25 angler?

    Thanks for the info, Paul. Looks like you nailed it. I found Great Republic's album from an early thread you posted in the past, and I can see why you're a fan. :D Great Republic photo album Edit: Just found another pic of 27's with different window styles. Looks like GR is actually a 26?

    Navionics Update Chart

    That and the part Boris posted about being able to activate it with a Garmin chip made me wonder.

    Tomcat 24 Window Replacement Suggestions

    Maybe not so much for the guys in the PNW, but in Florida it's essential!

    Navionics Update Chart

    Thanks for the update, Boris. We just started using the Garmin 7610xsv with BlueChart g2 U.S. coastal and LakeVu HD maps. So far it's been less than impressive. Do you know if this Navionics chip is usable in that unit, and is it a big improvement over the pre-loaded maps?

    Hello

    Welcome Rick! The wife and I had the same goals, loop, Bahamas, and general fun when we started looking too. We looked at several different cuddy cabins and small cruisers before deciding on the C-Dory Tomcat. I had a '69 VW camper van back in my 20's, and the cabin of the 25 and 255 Tomcat...

    25 angler?

    I don't recall ever seeing a 23-26' angler in my searching, but if I was a serious fisherman, I would love to check-out the 22' center console model that Wefings has for sale right now. https://wefings.com/c-dory-22-cc-2008/6087/ No cabin amenities, but that's about the biggest "cockpit" I've...

    Both transducers losing bottom

    Yes, that was my thoughts as well. Both transducers are mounted on the flat of the first hull step up from the bottom. I was considering moving the TM a little lower toward the middle/bottom of the V, and the IH directly to the bottom near the bilge pump. Where have the rest of the Tomcat...

    Both transducers losing bottom

    We ordered an in-hull transducer as backup to be able to read depth at higher speeds than our transom mount, but both units lose bottom around 12 kts/14 mph. Both transducers, Garmin GT51M-TM and GT15M-IH, are mounted on/in the starboard sponson, and to a sonar neophyte like myself, seem to work...
