Hey C-Dancer ...That little Tomcat hiding among the house boats on Lake union is Off Leash...We brought her in for the winter to so some upgrades on the interior and hoping for some warmer weather to take it out for a mid winter run or two...

Thanks Bob Our Inverter does not get used much. Maybe 5 minutes for a 1000w hot water maker or 10 minutes for a 1200w toaster oven from time to time. We use the diesel stove mostly. The house battery bank is 230ah so I am guessing this would be a little small if we used it a lot. We power the...

Thanks for the ideas. A combo unit would be great but we just added a 1500w inverter and 230ah house bank last summer...Then, I added a battery monitor an realized the one bank charging problem. Duhhhhhh..... Right now I am leaning toward a newer design 3-bank dry mount ProNautic 1220P (20amp...

Hey Bob & Liz You guys might want to consider coming to the Seattle Boat show in January. There will be a C-dory group there and the show usually has several seminars on the inside passage. It may also give you a chance to scope out some of the places to use as a launching base while you are up...

1500w inverter located near 200+ AH housebank reduces voltage drop.

Hey Bob...Thanks for suggestions. Sorry, I was not real clear but the Starboard Starter and House bank are set up on a Dual (off-1-both-2) battery switch so they should be isolated. The port is on a separate On/off switch. (Funny, I have always been concerned that there is no way to use the...

Hi all Sorry for another Guest charger questions but I could not find anything in the archives on how do you tell if the guess charger is just starting to fail? Here is the problem that has me scratching my head. I have the original 5-5-10 20 amp Guest charger with the 5s connected to the...

The head in the Tomcat IS also tight even if you are small like me. One of the benefits we got by adding the sink was the little bit of counter space it gave us. There is just no shelving in these little heads to put stuff like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, cups, etc while doing what ever it is...

Standard plastic file holders make simple plate storage alternative to teak racks

Jason, I was able to add a photo album "OffLeash" and posted some pictures of some of the upgrades we did on our Tomcat. One is of the sink and it should give you some idea of how easy it is. Let me know if you have more questions. Have fun with your winter projects Mike

Adding a small sink in Head improves cruising comfort and convenience for crew and really does not cramp Tomcat head

Hi Jason We put a sink in the head on our Tomcat and I think it is the same size as the 25 so it should be no problem. For us it works great, does not get in the way and gives us a place to put things while cleaning up in the morning. We use our boat primarily for cruising and really like the...

Are own observations on this subject a much the same as others. I was lucky enough to take a year out of my career and do the Caribbean back in the late 80’s aboard a 44’ ketch, 2 years ago we got to do the Loop in a 34 sailing cat. Now we are back in our adoptive home of Seattle with the...

Interesting stuff on this... Lighter I can tell you it is significantly lighter than the dometic 18liter unit. I lifted both and the total weight of 20lbs on it is really nice...off course it was not filled with my favorite beverages. One other thing that looked good to me was that it had...
