    Rust on truck

    I use never cease on my trailer lugnuts and if i was dipping my rear tires i'd do the same. I also tighten lugnuts to RFT ft-lbs. Some say you should not use never cease on lugnuts. I respectfully disagree, but the torque must be increased.

    Repower Tomcat 255

    The only outboard I ever had die on me was a brand new e-tec. I have a friend who is running a honda BF 150 (which is what i have on the back of my tomcat) and it has 20,000+ hours; the boat previously belonged to a commercial fishermen. Keep your engines, 1100 hours is nothing. You have two...

    Boat Handling / twin or single outboard

    I like twins for maneuvering and redundancy; i've limped home on one before. I still haven't been able to walk the boat sideways.

    Wish us luck

    I've mostly been monitoring Isaac as i'm in the Gulf. Our meteorologists are predicting landfall as a cat 3 just north of you. Some models put it closer to Jacksonville.

    This is so painful to see

    Vehicle to tow a 22' Cruiser

    I used to tow the tomcat with a 89' chevy 3500 duely. It had plenty of power (454 gas guzzler), but it was rear wheel drive with an open differential. I got stuck on launch ramps multiple times. From now on i'm 4x4 guy.

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    The maritime industry is also a big fan of simple methods like this. I've been meaning to buy a wood dowel to notch and use for this purpose. My analog gauges work fine, but my honda digital display says full when full and shows empty after about an hour of running on a full tank.

    New lower unit question

    The oil will give you indications of needing to tare down machinery to repair a failed seal. For example if at the 20 hr mark your lower unit oil is milky or there is water in the drain pan, this would indicate a bad seal from the factory.

    Tomcat fuel system

    I've never had this happen on mine. I'm curious on the integrity of your fill and vent hoses to you tanks. When you're fueling close all your doors and windows to ensure no vapors are drifting in.

    STOLEN C-DORY ON 7/27/18

    most everyone thieving here is a tweeker. They're the worst as they are hard to deter. It's a sad sign of the times; more and more people are desperate.

    bearing or axle failure

    My spindles and arms are one piece :( I really wish I had the other brand. I also really wish the trailer maker had heard of nevercease.

    bearing or axle failure

    Pinch bolt already has been introduced to my sawsall. I tried to drive a chisel in there but couldn't get it to work, not the right tool.
