Have the upgrade problem on my new to me 2005 22! Found a 64mb CF card on eBay, loaded the upgrade on it and followed instructions. Plotter did nothing with the card in the slot. Can't find the version of firmware in the menu. Problems with the ST6001 AP as well. And yes, this an old...

Never saw one here! Neither purple ones or regular ones either! :mrgreen:

Had some on my first 22, they worked fine and looked good but the spousal unit didn't like them! And this is really coming "from the dead" :( , Don (Sneaks) passed away suddenly right after Christmas in 2010 (I think). Shocked us all! He's still a "friend" of mine on Facebook and gets Birthday...

Boat U.S. Is another source, as is Google. Charlie

The name looks great! My point was that our registration documentation doesn't have a boat name on it, only a number! :lol: Most of us here (at least I do) get our registration numbers at a local hardware store, not from a graphic artist! You guys North of the border are a lot more picky...

Very nice! BC won't even let you put a name on the boat until you get a registration number? Not so here, but you do need to have numbers on the boat before you use it! Charlie

Dr. Bob has good recollection! I had two Tomcats at one time :roll: on the two different trailers and have some pictures of them alongside one another. I'll dig them out and post one here on an edit. IMHO, the Float on Aluminum one was far easier to get boat on and off than the galvanized...

Had similar problem on my first TC. I didn't have a relay in the system for the windlass and the up/down switch was corroded inside. Replaced it once and it worked for awhile and then intermittently and then not at all. Added a relay to handle the heavy current (much like a solenoid on a car...

Sounds like dirty (corroded) contacts somewhere. Start at the house battery, take each red wire off and clean them thoroughly with Emory cloth, work your way toward the windlass. Then repeat with the black ( ground wire) which should go through a bus bar near the stern. You shouldn't need to...

I'm all for the USN buying about 500 of these little guys, some way to get them in the water quickly around the world (not a C-17 though, that wouldn't work), scrapping the useless LCS (Littoral Combat Ship) program thereby saving us many billions of $$. Wish I was still in the Navy Ship...

Or, alternatively, use vodka for something else and forget about it! :mrgreen: Charlie :thup

Any place you wanna put it is fine! We're mostly a respectful bunch but always nice or Bill or Mike, the Moderators will take away our birthdays! :mrgreen: That having been said, I'm not a fisher person and won't be until they teach cows to swim! :!: Pick a name yet? There's a special...

Chris, there are pictures in his album! Charlie

Welcome to the fold! There are thousands of pictures in albums and lots of info about rigging boats. We're on our fourth or fifth CDory, see my profile. As for meeting others, check out the calendar and event sigh ups buttons at the top of all of the pages. Ask the moderators for a photo...

How much of the total weight of the boat/trailer is on the tongue? Does the trailer sit level when hooked up to both vehicles? If the front is higher on the Cherokee than on the Truck, that may be lightly loading the front tires/wheels causing them to skip on braking. Charlie

I guess you could always stand up and stick your head out the sunroof... :disgust Oh, wait, this is a 22. I've had too many TomCats!! :mrgreen: Charlie

I don't see a response to the question asked of you about what kind of steering you have. Do you currently have Hydraulic steering? If so and You still get very tired, then certainly an autopilot which is not hard to install on hydraulic steering would certainly help. If you have mechanical...

I bought a new Road King trailer, aluminum, tandem with a folding tongue to reduce length (to fit in a garage with the boat on it) which is made in NC and FL. Have not used it very much, only to get the boat home from the dealer near Norfolk where we bought our 2005 22 but it is very nice...

They say there are only two kinds of boaters, those that have run aground and those who will. It is Lindsay's Law, WHEN THE DRAFT OF YOUR VESSEL EXCEEDS THE DEPTH OF THE WATER, YOU ARE MOST ASSUREDLY AGROUND! :mrgreen: Charlie

In Costa Rica a year ago Feb while on vacation, we saw a woodworking shop thar was powered from a waterwheel tjat has all sorts of mechanically belt driven machinery. Very strange to just hear the quiet whirrr as the machinery run before wood was fed in to planers, shapers, saws, etc! I took...
