Hi all We have been thinking about supplementing the standard c-dory Refrigerator/Freezer with a separate small portable unit to make ice and keep some frozen food available on long trips. I have been concerned about adding the power needs of another compressor. It appears most portable...

Wow...Thanks Bob. I just put two 100 amp hr batteries for my house bank...It seems barely enough based on what you are saying but I have room for another. The charger well it is the original guest 5-5-10 and I have been a little concerned about it and have been looking at one of the pro...

OK, I know I am no electrical generous but am I missing something. My goal is to install a 1500 inverter to run a coffee maker and a small toaster over (1140 watts). Normally most people and the instructions talk about adding 10 ft of #2 or #3 wires from the battery to the inverter in the...

I love to hear the conversation on outboards and adding power to get more speed. However, one of the things I have not heard much on is any opinion on make the boat lighter. For example the Suzuki 140hp is about 80lbs per engine lighter (I think). Adding weight to a cat has always been one of...

Thanks for the ideas Time to get some line and go cruising! Mike

Any suggestions on what size and length stern line for the Tomcat based on the Pacific NW and inside passage cruising? I did not really see anything in archives? Thanks for any ideas Mike

Hey Greg, Would it be possible to add Hiromi and Mike aboard Off Leash to the dinner on Friday if there is any room left? It is our first time and we are really excited about meeting everyone who has given all of us newbies so much great advice on the blog Thanks, Mike and Hiromi.

Thanks for the ideas...It was a ground wire.

Thanks for the ideas. I checked the Ohms on the sending unit while it was in the tank, thank for the idea. I also purchased a new generic sending unit about the same depth as what I think is in there now and place the float to what I believe the tank level is. Both show about 15 Oms. I...

Hi All...I need a little help from those with some experience. I just had my port tank start reading 0 even thought there is about 50 gallons of fuel in it. When I started out today it was working before I added some fuel. not it reads 0 and the Port reads fine. Does anyone know what sensor...

Perfect...Thanks

I am away from my boat for a few days. Does anyone know the size of the Tomcat Fish box? I am looking for a propane grill that I could store in one of the fish boxes with some other gear when not using so I need to know some internal sizing. Thanks for any thoughts or measurements/ Mike

Hey Joe I am not a truck guy and even if I had a truck capable of pulling a TC, I don't know that I have the skill or courage to drag 10,000 lbs down the road at 60 mph. Since, I am currently looking for a TC and I know my driving limitation, I am going to have to look to an alternative...

Hi Gene We did the loop in 2013-2014 and we recently were asked to give a lecture at the off site AGLCA seminar during the Seattle boat show. First, you may want to consider starting in Chicago. There is nothing like going right through the center of Chicago (The Chicago Gorge) to start your...

Hi Derrick I have to agree that 6 months is too short for the loop. I took 13 months motoring it with a sailing cat that is a little smaller than your Seawind and didn't scratch the surface of what there is to experience on this little adventure. As you have probably already read there are so...

Thanks for insight on the 255 tomcat changes. It gave me some confidence on what to look for. One day I hope we can catch up to some of you at a raft up. Mike

How can we contact you to find more about ANYTIME BABY. We just moved back hear to the Pacific Northwest after completing America's Great Loop in a small sailing cat and are now looking for a small power cat we can use to do some local exploring. Mike

Hi all I am new hear and very impressed with the combined knowledge of the group. We are now located in Seattle area and excited about doing some cruising and gunk holing up here in the Pacific NW. We are from a sailing cat background and looking for a Tomcat but cannot justify the price of a...
