    Leaking Helm Pump 2007 TomCat

    My TomCat's Helm Pump is leaking hydraulic oil behind the Helm panel. I assume it's the seals but I will have it checked out. I am not at my lake house and don't have my manuals with me as they are on the boat. Would anyone know the model number of the helm pump on a 2007 TomCat? I have...

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    The BOODALU went down to the Lake of the Ozarks today where it will live for the next several months. Once in the water it ran great. I got 7.9mpg in the F250 D driving down - the road to the lake is hilly and the boat is heavy.

    More wireless broadband stuff...

    I also use cradle point wi-fi pipe mdr 1000 and it works well. Unfortunately my Verizon broadband aircard works at one of our houses and not the other. And my Sprint air card has the opposite problem. Hopefully we will get some overlap soon so I can shed one of the air cards.

    C-Brat Tip Jar/Donations

    I donated as this site got me to purchase a TomCat and a 16C. The TomCat got me to retire and move to a lake house with a dock for the boat. 60 hours now and counting and the boat is working great. My wife and I are having fun on the Lake of the Ozarks. Thanks for all the information!

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    On Friday, March 21 I took the 16' C, BOODALU-TOO for its first trip. My wife and I had her in the Mississippi River for about an hour and she handled pretty well considering the river is way up, full of debris, and the wind was blowing with 30 mph gusts. The boat was very easy to launch and...

    TomCat 255 Height

    Can anyone tell me how "tall" the TomCat sits while in the water (from the waterline to the top of the roof)? Also, what is the overall height of the boat (from the bottom of the hulls to the top of the roof)? I ask because I am looking to get a house on the Lake of the Ozarks and most...

    Predicting the Weather

    Garmin has a unit (378?) that allows you to monitor the XM Navweather service which is supposedly localized and "real time". I am considering buying the unit (its not cheap) and it would be interesting to hear if anyone has any experience with the service.

    Bushnell Onix 400 - XM NavRadio

    I am looking at buying a handheld GPS as a backup to my Lowrance unit. I was looking at the Lowrance iFinder H20C but came upon the Bushnell Onix 400 which has XM NavWeather capability. I sent a question to the company about the Onix ability to read other map chips (e.g. Navionics) but have...

    EQ Marine

    I get confused reading this thread and others like it. About a year ago I discovered the C-dory and the C-Brat site and read everything I could. The positive passion of the C-Brat members was a large part of the reason I bought a 255 TomCat. Heck, I was so convinced I also bought a 16'...

    tow vehicles

    FWIW. In addition to tow ratings, consumer reports, etc. you may want to consider truck fueling. I have a diesel and when hauling the TomCat it is easy to pull into a truck stop for fuel. I also have a gas vehicle that has hauled an RV trailer and I was not able to get around easily in all gas...

    16' Cruiser / angler options

    I won't bore you with the logic I used with my wife to have her agree to allowing the purchase of a 16' Cruiser sister to my TomCat; however, I am looking for some engine advice. My options are: 1.0 Honda 50 2.0 Mercury 50, 4 stroke EFI 3.0 Mercury as above but with "big foot" lower end...
