Another idea: We started at Port Severn and traveled to Lakefield (19 locks) and then reversed back to PS (38 total). This was our first transit on the T/S. There is so much to take in that it seemed like a totally new experience on the return leg. We did purchase the annual pass: $8.80/ft=...

Aboard our TomCat this summer, we spent 3 weeks on the T/S and the eastern shore of Georgian Bay and then back to Lake Michigan by way of the North Channel. Some thoughts: First, this was our first, but by no means our last time in these parts. We have spent decades visiting the North...

My wife, Beth, and I had the pleasure of sharing the waters of Lake Michigan with Derrick and Deveen for about 4 days. Really a great time with 2 great mates. I just finished reading Derrick's book and would highly recommend it. The flow of reading the book differs from the nature of the blogs...

The obvious question: assuming the boat is fully outfitted, is the added camper not redundant for overnight stay? Seems like a lot of added weight and maintenance for the benefit? Appreciate the feedback on this since I have considered this option. Jeff

Thanks for the effort and the feedback John. Got all winter on the hard to study the issue- heated indoor storage, thank goodness.

John et al: An alternative to a center anchor locker drain is the one posted by "Discovery" where the water from the anchor locker is directed to the "vents" on the freeboard, port and starboard, well above the water line. Have a look at how he managed this "fix". The advantage I see to his...

Thanks for the replies mates. All makes sense, excepting the design, that is. Guess another winter project is on the list- great hobby though. Jeff

Thanks for the heads up. Well worth it.

New Owner: I have found water in the forward port hull, below the berth, and have traced it to the anchor locker and the two adjacent forward lockers. It seems the water finds its way aft, though I can't find the exact spot of the leak. I was surprised to find what I believe, is an anchor locker...

Thanks to all for the replies. Will work at it. I am so grateful for the site and the constant activity of timely subjects. Thanks to Bill on Da Nag for his work. Jeff

I have met with frustration using the search screen and wonder if there is a help screen that explains the use of the search screen. (not able to find under Help). For example, I searched the topic "Air conditioning" and got over 3000 hits, none of which had the words air conditioning stated in...

Thanks for Bob.

As a grandpa who's out to please, what are your thoughts of towing tubes behind my TomCat? No attempts yet, and unsure where to attach the bridle or tow line to the transom. A call to Mike, the new owner and manufacturer of the TomCat was inconclusive- he's not really had inquiries regarding...

Bob and John Thanks for the thorough responses. Will give me a good place to start. Jeff

I have further questions as well: 1. Do you recommend the use of Permatrims? My boat does not have them but seems to get up on plane readily and seems to hold its "attitude" steadily? 2. What alignment of the motors is best. I am told that a slight toe-in is best and that the rooster tail...

I am a new TC owner and would appreciate any feedback regarding the fuel efficiency issue. I was unable to locate any reference to TC on the Boat Test site. The rate of fuel/RPM is important, but also wonder about the average plane speed and typical cruising speed most skippers prefer...

I have studied this product a bit and would appreciate any feedback. The videos on the Performanceunderfoot site offer a compelling sales presentation. Noticed that John on Cat O' Mine has installed it- nice job! How is it underfoot? Noticed you had a throw rug at the entry into the salon...
