It has to be from the motors. If I have gallons used and GPH, I dont understand how I could not have MPG and miles traveled. Obviously I have miles traveled on the GPS and can do the math for the MPG, but it should be working as before. Something has stopped this from working. Fred

I am having trouble with my Honda digital gauges on the 2007 TomCat.....I have lost the MPG and total miles traveled. The GPH and gallons used are still functioning. Any ideas? Fred

I had fuel smell last summer in my 2007 Tomcat. It was leaking at the fuel hose/squeeze ball on one side. Easy fix. Fred

We also are leaking steering fluid. At first I thought it was just coming from the filler cap. We replaced that and see that the fluid is still leaking at the rear of helm in large amounts. Based on the info shared here, I question weather to replace seals or replace the entire helm? Fred...

If you mount on the highest part of the wall like I did, you can just bolt it on. The Roof Cap hides the holes, nuts, everything and no messing with 5200. Fred

Thanks to you all for the ideas. Marks (ShiRoz) suction cup idea did the trick! Lifted the tank up and slid her right back into place. She is ready to be filled this spring. Fred

Joe, that is an idea that might work and much easier! I will give it a try. Thanks, Fred

I need to access the back of the water tank in my 2007 Tomcat. Unfortunatley, there is no access to the rear of tank. I would need to open the hatch located under the dinete and cut thru the floor under the hatch to get to the water tank. The reason is that the tank has shifted forward up and...

It is the full camper canvas top with sides. I had a local boat top company install, though he was not excited to install the work of another shop.

Hello Mike, I have a 2007 Tomcat. I have a top that I ordered from King MArine Canvas in Seattle WA. He has the pattern and made them for C-Dory. He shipped mine up to ALaska and I really like it. It is heavy duty 1 inch SS tubing. Fred

I think the biggest issue will always be the cost of maintenance and repairs. If you establish an hourly rate that each owner contributes for each hour of boat use, based upon the boats hour meter, you can have a maintenance fund that will be there when you need it. He who uses her the most...

Retriever, I am not sure about the core. I am thinking the area to the sides of the center and out to the edge of the roof are not cored. I was hoping one of the other Tomcat owners would drill a couple test holes in their roof just for fun!!! The kayaks are 39 pounds each, so that is 25...

Retriever, this is the same install I have in the works on my Tomcat. After one season without a permenant rack, this should make load and unloading a breeze. Fred

Mark, did you mask the wires and nuts? Fred

Retriever, Last year (first year with the kayaks) we just used the rubber kayak saddle mounts and tied them down snug over the top and at each end. This was not easy or fast. I will have to look for pics. This year, if it ever gets warm enough, I will install 4 (2 on the port and 2 on the...

Joel, We first bought an inflatable, though easy to carry it is not very comfortable and does not track well. We then bought 2 hard plastic kayaks (Prodigy 10) from REI. They weight 39 pounds and are 10 feet long. We carry both on the roof outside of the dingy. We love them and anyone who...

Warren, I have never had to retrieve the boat alone, but I suppose I would walk it on a little (just like when I have help), then step aboard and run her up. The trouble is how far to power up before using the winch. I like my wife to drive it on as I crank. I don't look forward to ever doing...

Warren, When Launching, I back the boat in close to the dock and tie the stern line to a dock cleat with slack. I tie the bow line to the trailer ladder (with slack)and climb back in the truck, back up and hit the brakes. She slides right off but does not have anyplace to go. Fred

I thought I sent this but......... I like my EZ-loader float on trailer. It is a snap to load and unload. It trailers very nice behind my F-350. My only comment is that it is a 10,000 lb. trailer and with the boat loaded it is right there. I guess by your comments you have heard...

Boscoj, I plan to drill a hole in mine when I find the suitable "lipped"plug for the hole. This way I can keep them draining to the bilge, but plug after use. I wonder how many times I will forget to put the plugs back in??????? Fred
