    Have you tried an upholstery shop. It seems like they could fabricate one if they can make the camper backs this should be an easy project. Gene

    Changing Battery Location on my tomcat 255

    They might have changed the location of the water tank. To be sure, there is access under the sink, open the hatch and shine light forward you will see the tank and lines running to demand pump if not it has changed. The design of my 2007 model lists starboard when all tanks are full. Much less...

    Changing Battery Location on my tomcat 255

    James; All the TC255 have this problem. Move the batteries into the house which requires sealed batteries. Under the helm seat poses the problem of access. The water heater is there and difficult to access when needed. Another issue with mounting at helm seat is weight distribution...

    Live well intake position for tomcat 255

    Mine is configured the same as Wefings. We tuna fish every year the bait stays lively since while running the live well water circulates without the pump running. My wash down pickup, which is absolutely required when fishing albacore, is a high speed unit forward of the live well pickup

    Boiling crab in the cockpit - what do you use?

    We catch and cook hundreds of crab every season. We have steamed and boiled crab, cleaned and whole, I can't tell a great deal of difference in the flavor either way. The big advantage is to steam cleaned. Less water "weight" with the steamed crab, whiter meat if cleaned prior to cooking and...

    I’m thinking of replacing my plotter w/ an 12.9“ IPad

    We purchased IPAD Pro 12.9. three years a go. It is a great addition that is mounted on the Admirals side with a Ram X mount. It does not require cell service to function as a plotter. And it is far superior to my Garmin 3210. If I didn't need the other features, Radar, Autopilot and Sounder, I...

    Ripple Rock

    Peter & Judy; Great video. The video that followed this one on youtube was a 27 minute version named "demolition of ripple rock" documenting the process of drilling tunnels and laying the explosive. It is very interesting also. Gene

    Fishing Bodega Bay, CA on True North 2019 Part 1

    Westie; Very nice video. I noticed that you did not bleed the rock fish. Maybe you did but, edited out. Many years ago I was in Crescent City Ca. And had a good day. While cleaning the fish another fisherman brought in his catch to fillet. I noticed how white his fillets were and ask him...

    Cockpit Boat Hook Holder

    In my Tom Cat the sides is the cockpit are thin fiberglass. A bolt thru with the Gunnel box removed it is an easy install. I agree with Gulfcoasrt John this is the easiest means to fasten hangers securely Gene

    Fresh water pump Flow Jet 4125 114 Not Working Questions

    Hull; The pressure switch will not allow the motor to activate unless there is a pressure required to put water through the system. Otherwise the pump would have to be turned on each time you need water. There is a switch under the end cap where the wiring comes out of the assembly. Remove...
