Colby; It seems like you have a great summer planned out. I've been in SE AK many times. Sometimes we launch in Washington and cruise BC. BC is a great cruise however, fuel and provision prices are very high..... When we're going to Alaska ATT seems to be the best carrier for...

Colby; We will be at the Cove July 15th till Aug 1st. We will be in the inner harbor at Bud Keeney's house and running the TC255 "Tootsie". Everyone there knows Bud's yellow house, inner harbor with long steep ramp with Handicap Accessible sign at bottom (LOL) Look for us. We have some...

Thanks Dr. Bob etal. I did replace the wiring and I always use a dielectric grease and corrosion block. HOPEFULLY this will last another 12 years. Now I need to work on steering hydraulics. Halibut and rock fish seasons start May 1st and Salmon on May 25th. Tuna won't be far...

Paul; Here is the photos of how my top is attached to the roof. The zipper is HD and water proof. The camper top gets zipped in and then snapped on forward of the zipper and the bead. I couldn't upload the photos but below is a link to my albums. The bottom two are the photos Hope this...

We have had a camper back made by Bentleys in the Portland Or area for over 10 years. The zippers and sealing system that they installed prevents leaks forward. https://bentleysmfg.com/ If you like I could take a photo of the set up and send it to you. Gene

Thanks for the advise. I have started to pull the switched wire and replace with new one. Do I have to worry about putting neg wire to grounding block near the pump. And, also install the automatic wire to the power block in same area? All three wires run to the forward helm.

There are a couple things going on with my TC255. 1: Bilge pump: My port side pump is not working, I removed pump and tried to make it run by direct wiring to the ground and power post. It did not work. Purchased new pump and wired it to exisiting wires in lazarith Would not work but did with...

I looked on line for LiFePO4 batteries I don't know this company, if anyone out there has done business with them please respond. It looks like I can replace my 4 house batteries with 2 of these100AH 12V batteries...

Kurt & Bev; I have a 2007 Tomcat and love it we've been in your area many times since the purchase. We stay at Elfin Cove when we're up there. Congratulations on your purchase. I'm sure you will love it. Regarding your anchor, we have a 22 lb'r and get anchor drag in some...

I've towed reefmadness from California to Bellingham a number of times. We take the sides and back off, roll the top around the supports put a cover on it and strap it to the rod holders/rocket launchers. Never had a problem but, the cover is custom made for that purpose. We also have quick...

I found this company when I wanted to put new locks on my Tomcat. They were very helpful, a US company so you don't have to wait for Canadian customs. They carry many Trioving products. www.advantecstore.com/ Gene

I installed a slide in reefmadness. I only had to raise the slide 4 inches. I had some left over pressure treated 4 x 4 posts. I painted with a sealer and they have been fine for two years so far. Gene

After reading the 1 star reviews on Amazon, Personally I wouldn't make that purchase.. Gene

As Dr Bob says I have only used the Radar a few times cruising the inside passage. However, Northern California and Oregon Pacific waters have foggy days way more often. I need the radar about 25% of the time that I fish out of Eureka. If you plan on fishing out of the West coast it is...
