Nice boat. Pictures would help. I know you don't have twin 90s on it too. Gonna get a bigger one? You seemed to be having a good time with it! Charlie

Got some abt 10 years ago here in Va at a marina. Ran fine for a fillup in my 22 and never got any more. Got the impression that it was "specially" treated fuel :roll: but didn't taste it. :cry how would one tell w/o a chemical test? Charlie

Bet you also checked/cleaned Racor,s every year and checked the one under the cowl too? We did on our '94 22 with twin 45's on it! Charlie

Sunbeam, I didn't explain it right. :oops: I use the Garmin USA in the truck and Garmin Blue Charts, or Navionics while on the water. All on the ipad3, all w/o WiFi once the maps are downloaded. Both of them link with Active Captain. You may need a phone hotspot for an Active Captain link...

Sorry for your loss, BTDT with two sets of parents in the mid 1990's. Enjoy life, time gets shorter as you get older! Charlie

Where is Pat Anderson when we need a beer expert? Charlie

Sunbeam, it's called Garmin U.S.A. And the app is free, the maps $50, I think. They also have a Garmin a Blue Chart app, also free, maps about the same price. Once you download them, you don't need wifi to use them. The maps are big, I've got a 64MB iPad, a 16 Mb one may not handle it.

We frequently use an ipad3 on an arm. Pricey but you can't beat the screen size. App is free, map costs about $50 but once you have it, you can use it on the road without wifi (it has a built in GPS). Then, when you get to the launch site, you can put it on the boat, on another arm, and use...

Thanks Mike. Capt V may be a highly decorated leader but this kind of publicity will NOT get him looked at favorably by a promotion board. I was looked at a couple of times (early) by boards for flag before I was "in the zone" to be looked at "officially". At that point, having been in for 31...

Joe, ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE in newer cars, not so much. How many of us let our cars get down to near nothing though? I can't remember the last time I ran out in a car. Most cars these days have a "low fuel light" and it comes on when you should refuel. Our Chrysler T&C light comes on with...

Don't understand the "conspiracy" idea! What could it possibly be? The only one I could think of is the Navy worrying about someone getting hurt on UXO and suing them, the NPS or the Fed Govt. If there is UXO there, it cold be a very legitimate concern! I can't believe it would take that...

Have the upgrade problem on my new to me 2005 22! Found a 64mb CF card on eBay, loaded the upgrade on it and followed instructions. Plotter did nothing with the card in the slot. Can't find the version of firmware in the menu. Problems with the ST6001 AP as well. And yes, this an old...

Never saw one here! Neither purple ones or regular ones either! :mrgreen:

Had some on my first 22, they worked fine and looked good but the spousal unit didn't like them! And this is really coming "from the dead" :( , Don (Sneaks) passed away suddenly right after Christmas in 2010 (I think). Shocked us all! He's still a "friend" of mine on Facebook and gets Birthday...

Boat U.S. Is another source, as is Google. Charlie

The name looks great! My point was that our registration documentation doesn't have a boat name on it, only a number! :lol: Most of us here (at least I do) get our registration numbers at a local hardware store, not from a graphic artist! You guys North of the border are a lot more picky...

Very nice! BC won't even let you put a name on the boat until you get a registration number? Not so here, but you do need to have numbers on the boat before you use it! Charlie

Dr. Bob has good recollection! I had two Tomcats at one time :roll: on the two different trailers and have some pictures of them alongside one another. I'll dig them out and post one here on an edit. IMHO, the Float on Aluminum one was far easier to get boat on and off than the galvanized...

Had similar problem on my first TC. I didn't have a relay in the system for the windlass and the up/down switch was corroded inside. Replaced it once and it worked for awhile and then intermittently and then not at all. Added a relay to handle the heavy current (much like a solenoid on a car...

Sounds like dirty (corroded) contacts somewhere. Start at the house battery, take each red wire off and clean them thoroughly with Emory cloth, work your way toward the windlass. Then repeat with the black ( ground wire) which should go through a bus bar near the stern. You shouldn't need to...
