i'm ready to finally upgrade my plotter and radar. Anyone know of any good upcoming sales?

My Tomcat came with a Wallas stove/heater. I rarely use it and it is just one more thing to maintain...and it takes up counter space. Not really needed in Southern California. It works fine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/h5Vh3iAvmpHbmKn17 here is a video of it on the work bench. I took it out...

Hi all! So does anyone have any experience putting starlink on their vessels'? I'm debating getting a starlink roam to share between the RV and the tomcat.

Well, after having a uscg license for over a decade and this wonderful boat for almost half of that, it dawned upon me that I might as well run charters to the Channel Islands as there seems to be a demand. So, Western Gate Maritime LLC was born. I guess I can now write off some of the costs...

So i've just removed my sewage ovbd pump...again. This is the third Jabsco 18590. Maybe i should try a new pump? something that lasts a bit longer. Recommendations?

Hi All, So i'm contemplating the big pull out to lake Powell. It's not the normal time i'd want to go out there as it's kinda warm but I have some PTO i have to burn. How is it out there that time of year? pretty crowded? With the Pandemic what is it like right now? Thanks, -Conrad

Vessel assist Ventura just posted pictures of a Tomcat 255 sunk dockside. Check your scuppers. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qf6XOATzu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I think the owner is on here. I tried to message him to let him know i could use my trailer to haul him out if needed. If...

https://www.navatekltd.com/ares.html Who's got the money and desire to put one of these things on a c-dory and see what happens? My naval architect says they're amazing.

Kanaloa is back up and running with her one new and one old engine. Anyone ever adjust the cables to sync the throttles on a twin engine boat?

So now that I have the new engine, i have one with a permatrim and one without. So do I take all the permatrims off or put the old one on the new engine? I'm not in a big hurry to start drilling.

So after my run in with Katie the shark my port engine (honda bf150 2007 700hrs) was running rough. Today I inspected it and found milkshake oil. I found water in the #4 cylinder. all cylinders had spark and injection. The compression readings were: 1-210 2-190 3-195 4-180 To me this points...

After 22 years of diving in California I finally got to meet the ‘landlord’ yesterday. This particular ‘landlord’ was a 12-15’ great white shark named Katie. We figure it was Katie because a tagged shark matching the description of the one we saw has recently been observed in that area. Katie...

I'm not sure what this thing is called! I'm about to fashion a hose clamp to mine and some silicone. Anyone know the terminology for what this flange the rigging hose fits over? The one on the other engine is wobbly and loose. [/img]https://photos.app.goo.gl/6hAKUR65xbejsaTR6[/list]

So the other guy sitting next to me on watch is telling me that the USCG Auxiliary guys get all their gas paid for by the USCG. Does anyone know anything about this? I read through their manual and it basically says that all expense on your own watercraft while engaged in USCG Auxiliary ops...

We’ve all had a few situations where docking has been made difficult due to environmental conditions. The standard advice I hear given out is 1. Come in faster thus increasing your vector relative to the environmental vector and get a line on in a hurry. I don’t like this cause I don’t like...

I've bought some pullout cabinet organizers to mount underneath the stove and galley sink. I need material to elevate them 7" off the deck and mount them to. Essentially; I need something that's like a synthetic 2x8. I was at home depot this morning but didn't really find anything that wasn't...

I came home from work to find my boat without shore power. After a minimal amount of testing i found the culprit; the Marinco adapter. Apparently at some point the power draw got to high and it melted (see photos herehttps://photos.app.goo.gl/GyW1Yxxqiud7UkGQ8). I'm going to have to figure out...
