Hey anyone out there with a TomCat boating around Ft Myers and Cape Coral? We spotted you on our way to dinner via boat but couldnt get over to introduce ourselves. We too are TomCat owners. We thought we were the last of the species around these parts. But then, cue music, there you were. I...

We want to replace the original dorm size fridge that came with our TomCat. It is a Norcold. Its been fine except it no longer works on 12v and its looking a bit gnarly. Anyone have any experience with this? Brands to look for? What to stay away from? Any advice is appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am getting ready to repower our 2006 Tomcat can you guys that have Tomcats and trailer them give me some trailer specs? I’ve never owned a trailer. Thanks in advance! R&A

Hello all, have had something that has just come up on our Tomcat Honda 150 port motor. Found that there is oil in the air box, so there is a drain tube at the bottom of the air box and I have some oil coming out of tube. A little more when tilted up. My mechanic believes this is from blow by...

We have a saltwater washdown on our Tomkat and cannot find the sea cock or Thru Hull for it. Anyone have any ideas? Washdown on port side by the step in/out is located. We looked in the storage locker and don’t see any hoses going down in there. Any help appreciated.

Something funny happened on the way to the ....... As TomCat newbies we attended the Pontoon Gathering a few weeks ago--highly recommend to all boat or not--and attended one of the seminars on anchoring. We thought we knew about that subject but found out we really didn't. Thanks Dr. Bob. On...

For all TomCat owners we are curious as to who you have as an insurer and what is your payment. We called a few companies but no one seemed sure just how to price our policy as the boat was so unusual. We have Geico and pay almost $700 a year. Our Cat is an ‘06. We had one claim in 2014 when...

Does anyone know why the holding tank on the Tomkat is port side of the berth rather than under the head? My friends have a 06 26’ Dory and their tank is under the head. This makes way more sense than pumping all the way to the front of the boat. Also would cut down on smell while trying to...

Whew! Rewiring nav lights converting to LED. Fun times. Actually one of the easier projects I’ve tackled on new to us Pyra”C”.

Any advice on which cross bars or work best to put across top of Tomkat from stainless rails so you can put kayaks and such and maybe a roof box on top? Even an ad how system would be fine.

We have a persistent leak on the starboard berth porthole window. There are no manufacturer markings on these windows. The others are Boman or Diamond Seaglaze. I think we need to replace the entire gasket rather than clean and reseal which I have done already with no success on slowing the...

We are still shaking down our new to us 255 and while cleaning found the window screens for the berth windows. I thought it strange they would open but no screens to keep out bugs. However, when I insert them and then try to close the window it feels so tight as if the window would eventually be...

Anyone know how much poundage the roof is rated for? I have a Rigid dinghy with a 40hp engine and want to travel it with us. Since we have twins mounted on an Armstrong bracket and the transom already sits low I wouldn’t think I would want to add another 350 or so lbs back there. Not sure if...

Ours is located under the helm seat. It takes up the entire area. Has anyone replaced theirs with an instant hot water heater? If so any issues I would need to be aware of before doing same?

As of 335 today we are officially Tomcat owners! We look forward to posting many topics as we bring our new lil baby up to speed. Thank you in advance for all your advice and guidance. We look forward to meeting many of you at the next Dory gathering. Kind Regards, Rick and Anita Aka Fishstix2

Hello again. We are very close to finalizing our Tomkat deal but a few things came up during our survey that we want to delve in to further before committing ourselves. During the survey it was noted there was water in the fuel separator of the port engine. Non ethanol fuel has been used for at...

We are in the process of purchasing a 2006 Tomkat 255. The air conditioner has overheated recently due to an oil filled cooler or motor thingamajig. It was refilled but I fear due to age and lack of attention the thermostat among other things might be compromised. I can’t find a schematic on...

If you are thinking of selling your used Tomkat please give us a shot at making a deal. Looking for good condition, well loved Tomkat. Prefer twin Yamahas or Honda’s mounted on Armstrong brackets but if you’ve got any Kat let’s talk.
