    Live well intake position for tomcat 255

    I use a "Bait Bag" for live bait. Shown here mounted on the STB transom. Its a little hard to see, but the bait well pump is on the Port sponson. On a plane the water is forced into the bait bag. At rest I turn on the electric pump.

    TomCat gas tank hose and key switch installation defects

    As an owner of a 2006 TomCat with 1100 hours of operation, I can report that I have had neither of these problems occur. Maybe just lucky!

    Finally!!! My "Coming Out Of Hiding" Intro

    There should be a group gather at Oak Canyon, about mile 50. The organization is a bit loose, and doesn't usually come together until later in the season. Normally the third Saturday in September.

    Where to locate furnace exhaust

    You don't say what type of forced air furnace? I put an Espar Airtronic D2 in 'Discovery'. It's under the galley cabinet, behind the sink. I also have a Wallas Stove. I exited the Espar exhaust through the starboard side above the walkway and just behind the Wallas exhaust. I don't have to...

    22' Angler project

    I had a '84 Angler that I put saddle tanks in under the gunnels. Covered here with aluminum. The gas fills are in the gunnel top. 22 gal/ side. I don't have a better pic, but it was a success for me, since with the two original 12 gal tanks under the motor well, I now had 68 gallon capacity...

    Webasto / Espar knockoffs

    From a 2015 post I made. I put an Espar Airtronic D2 in Discovery a few years ago, never really did use it until this year. It has performed flawlessly for us this summer in South East Alaska. It drops into the low 50's each night and we turn everything off overnight. I can hit the on switch...

    Southeast Alaska Charts Wanted

    We did 1600 miles through South East Alaska in 2015. The one resource we used every day was Navionics US and Canada on the iPad. Navionics on the C-80 as a back-up. I realize Garmin now owns Navionics and who knows how they have screwed that up by now. We also have and used the Fine Edge...

    Prop Suggestions for Tomcat 24 with 140s

    Our 24' TomCat a 2003 bought new from EQ Marine was set up with Johnson 140's. Rebranded Suzuki 140's. We traded it in on the 2006 TC255. I don't remember what props it had, but they were stainless steel maybe 19" pitch. They really made the 24' TomCat fly. What's the story on the 2003...
