Hey anyone out there with a TomCat boating around Ft Myers and Cape Coral? We spotted you on our way to dinner via boat but couldnt get over to introduce ourselves. We too are TomCat owners. We thought we were the last of the species around these parts. But then, cue music, there you were. I...

Hi John and Eileen. I remember meeting you guys when we came to our first ever Hontoon gathering after our TomCat purchase. Great to hear from you again. I will check those fuses as that just might be the issue. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with such good insight. And if that...

I have heard and read that Norcold is not nearly as good as they once were- if anything is, right? I am just looking for any insight anyone might have thru their own experiences.

We want to replace the original dorm size fridge that came with our TomCat. It is a Norcold. Its been fine except it no longer works on 12v and its looking a bit gnarly. Anyone have any experience with this? Brands to look for? What to stay away from? Any advice is appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am getting ready to repower our 2006 Tomcat can you guys that have Tomcats and trailer them give me some trailer specs? I’ve never owned a trailer. Thanks in advance! R&A

They have 1100 on both motors

Tsturm, thank you for your response, it’s interesting you mention the wrong prop can cause. So, when I bought the boat the previous owner had changed the 3 blade Honda props with 4 blades. I liked the 4 due to lift out of hole and on plane at lower rpm’s. But, I had heard that 150’s struggle...

Hello all, have had something that has just come up on our Tomcat Honda 150 port motor. Found that there is oil in the air box, so there is a drain tube at the bottom of the air box and I have some oil coming out of tube. A little more when tilted up. My mechanic believes this is from blow by...

We have a saltwater washdown on our Tomkat and cannot find the sea cock or Thru Hull for it. Anyone have any ideas? Washdown on port side by the step in/out is located. We looked in the storage locker and don’t see any hoses going down in there. Any help appreciated.

I use baking soda, calgon, a half cup of dawn and peroxide and some vinegar then pump out every once in a while. Never any smells or issues otherwise.

Ha ha felt like it for sure. You just feel so stupid out there with nothing but white sand all around and you’re stuck on a VW! Everyone probably thought we were trying to April Fool them early.

Life never ceases to amaze and boating never fails to humble you!

Towboat tried the slip down the chain then pull trick but no luck. What finally did it was a monkey fist knot in the chain then a large shackle thru this and pull like hell until we heard “Pop” goes the weasel! I just knew that sound was the windlass going but T/G I was standing on the chain to...

We're gonna need a new anchor

Houston we have a problem....

Oh yea we tried the back pull— I once hauled a 10 ft section of pinetree to retrieve an anchor out of Lake Lanier- but not even a bit of budge this time. And yes my D/H was yelling “ Put yer ass into it!” The entire time. No luck. As Towboat said, One for the books! ( and we’ve paid for many...

Something funny happened on the way to the ....... As TomCat newbies we attended the Pontoon Gathering a few weeks ago--highly recommend to all boat or not--and attended one of the seminars on anchoring. We thought we knew about that subject but found out we really didn't. Thanks Dr. Bob. On...

For all TomCat owners we are curious as to who you have as an insurer and what is your payment. We called a few companies but no one seemed sure just how to price our policy as the boat was so unusual. We have Geico and pay almost $700 a year. Our Cat is an ‘06. We had one claim in 2014 when...

Another one in the books and our first to attend. A huge thank you to our hosts Tom and Joyce. They both did a ton of work to make the event a success and it certainly showed. Everything was well organized and well thought out Had a great time and highly recommend not just the gathering of...
