EZLoader is talking with CD about a sliprier (sp?) material for at least part of the bunks. They already provide a 2 speed winch that may pull it up. My original winch was beginning to bend and I noticed on Cygnet, the TC24 at the factory, the winch bracket was also bent. Don't have...

Happy to report EZLoader is working diligently to resolve the trailer issues. One of their factory people called today with an update and a promise to send improved replacement parts for my winch assy today. Meanwhile, I'm going to try recovering the boat with the truck farther from the water...

Brent and TyBoo, Found your pics, Brent. Lookin' good! Did you put sunshade material under the solid covers, or solid only? I'll be moving the trailer brake mechanism soon. Thanks for pioneering that solution! Mike, my washdown pump is a Shurflo Blaster, not listed as continuous duty in...

Hi, Mike Thanks for the supportive thoughts. The compressor is belt driven off the Honda, but it is covered with a guard, impossible to see and get to if service is required without removal of the compressor from its bed. The gpm rate for the washdown is 3.5. Isn't that enough volume? I'm...

Brent, I don't see the pics in your album. Ken, some more experts stopped by today for another opinion. Consensus is that air alone won't do it. It will have to be water cooled. Fortunately, I have water available from the raw water washdown pump at 3.5 gpm. Waiting for a call back from the...

Just posted some pics of the exhaust canundrum. Possible solution: Get a slightly larger thru hull fitting and tig in a 22mm ss hard exhaust pipe back to a flex joint at the engine. Drill about 6 holes in the space between the outside of the 22mm pipe and the outer edge of the thru hull for...

(Bob Cat) got pretty hot!

(Bob Cat) blanketed exhaust tube

(Bob Cat) hull penetration for exhaust

Hi, Paul Sorry you missed the Christening. Let me know when you're in the area and we'll hook up. About the compressor situation, it's not the heat of the compressor anymore. The experts at Compressed Air Specialties checked it all out over several days and gave it the green light as it is...

You're really getting some elevation on a trailer with a flybridge. It's already over 13' from ground to radar top. You'd have at least 2 more feet with radar mounted flat on top of a f.b. Bob Cat

One step forward, and one step back. Solved the inverter problem today by reattaching the negative cable to the Group 31 house batts. It had been removed and left off at the factory stop on the way home. No problem, and I figured it out all by my little self! Now, everything works! Except...

Steve, Delete your TomCat pics and email to me for re-posting. That's all I know to do. Meanwhile, Katy and I have decided to spend the day on the boat tomorrow, but in the slip. Gale warning with seas outside the bay building to 15-20 over the next 24 hrs. The compressor exhaust is almost...

Thanks for posting your pics, Steve. We got a little overwhelmed and neglected to take many of our own! Got Dive Cat out of the water and onto the trailer today, without the winch and bow roller, which have been sent to EZLoader for examination. Had a nice chat with the engineering folks in...

Hey, Tom I'd like permission to print out your story and report it to our CG Aux Boating Skills & Seamanship class tomorrow night. It is such a great illustration of so many facits of safe boating I can't pass it up. And it's TRUE! Bob Cat

Bravo Zulu, Tom and Crew! There was a short discussion a while ago on here about listening in on Ch 16. This is proof that the system works and that lives really are saved. I can't imagine the feeling of being in the position of those folks, as any boaters could be, and not being heard...

A few pics added to the album, including parted trailer wire. Bob Cat
