For what is worth I have almost 300 hrs on a 115 E-Tek with no problems. 4.1 to 4.6 MPG 60 hrs of running = 1 gal of oil. After 3 days of puking rain in rivers Inlet Last week I found this on the end of my line :D

Hi all, I am Leaving here (Sandy Point) this Wednesday for rivers Inlet and the drinks are on me Thursday night @ the Quarterdeck Lounge in Port Hardy. :D Fair Winds and Calm Seas, Don PS. Nice to meet you C-Dancer

Yup, have that stuff in several sizes. I use the stuff in the panel shop and found it to be great for the boat. I buy it in 100' foot rolls but would sell small quantities. Don

Gene, My wife and I are planning a Prince Rupert with a stop in Rivers Inlet to visit family in June also, a yearly thing for us. Have not decided weather we are leaving from Bellingham or trailering to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island and launching there. Another option. Don

If you remove the black screws that hold the black plastic cover down and remove the plastic cover you will find a slotted adjusting screw. A half turn to the right is a good place to start at. The friction plate will tend to ware in when new and require readjusting sometimes. The black plastic...

Mike; If you have the boat out of the water and have the motor tilted all the way up you can find the trim sensor on the right side of the motor mounting bracket on the inside at about the same hight as the top mounting bolt. It is a black lever thingie that kinda rotates when the engine gets...

FYI, Call my wife Taunya @ CDI Sign and Awning for boat graphics. She does a lot of the wheel and keel boats. Mention that you are from the C-Dory group. :D Don

Well I will throw my hat into the ring too. I installed a 115 E-tek in June of this year and have 196 hours on it now with no problems and it performs as they claim. It replaced a 130 Honda that I had no problems with. Stats E-tek Honda 385 # 501# 4000 rpm 5.0 gph...

Update: Scott did call me this week as promised and we are going to meet with him next weekend to discuss purchase and hopefully sea trail, if available, a new tomcat. The boss says it is time to get the land yacht out of the garage and make a weekend of it. :D PS. This is such a great site...

Yep, We have had the same problem with our 2006 EZ Loader trailer, tail lights and center light bar failure. West Coast Marine replaced the lights promptly and also found corrosion with the pin and sleeve connectors. After cleaning the connections they coat them with a product called lanocote...

Dealing directly with the factory was one of the attractions of Tom-Cat. I have always bought my boats and motors from a one or two horse shop or directly from the factory. I get a whole shop full of parts and then try to make something out of it. It is what i do both at work ( electrical -...

Thanks Da Nag, but Les and EQ Marine are no longer selling Tom Cats, just C-Dory :( Has Thataway or Discovery have a scale weight of bmt as I think it is more the my tundra is rated for. :oops: Thanks Don

Well, thanks for such a wealth of information and pics. Our next step is to set foot in one again and take notes on likes and dislikes and then find a suitable dealer. I was told that as of Oct 1 that you can no longer buy directly from the factory. The boss also said that the toy box had to be...

Thanks for the great pics and stories! I was hoping to get some feedback on how the tom cat handles heavy chop and also boat related problems such as leaks, electrical problems, workmanship, ect... This will be our third one and have had varying experences with dealers and boat manufactures...
