    TomCat 24 vs. TomCat 255?

    Big differences in the head as well. The 255 is a lot more "wife friendly". Having had Two 255's, we know! :mrgreen: Charlie

    Raymarine "drain" wire question

    Sunbeam said: "PS: I had a slight puzzlement when I went to strip that tiny wire and, no matter how careful I was (of course the 22 gauge stripper was too large, so I was using a pocket knife) I kept cutting off the whole thing. After a couple of times of that I knew something was up and looked...

    Garmin GMR 18HD

    I did buy the XHD model and it's back ordered to ship on 10-18 from West Marine. No worries as I won't be installing until the whole Garmin setup comes in, the GPS MAP 4210 arrived yesterday and it's patiently waiting in the garage. The AIS is coming separately and the GSD 24 FISHING SONAR...

    LED Nav Lights

    Why are these bulbs not designed to be the same dimensions? The fresnel lens may not be a glass lighthouse quality lens but its definitely not just there for looks its more complicated casting even if it is plastic. I cant believe DR led would put that bulb on the market. Really? Why don't...

    non boating dog question. invisible fence

    Don't know if this is still a valid review but seemed good at the time... [2012] http://www.dogfencediy.com/wireless-dog-fence/ Probably many improvements since then. And probably cheaper than putting collars on all the other dogs to keep them out.. Charlie :roll: :cry :disgust

    LED's Revisited

    I don't joke about fire on a boat. I lost 9 sailors in an engine room fire on a carrier. An over sized fuse can cause a wire, somewhere in the circuit, to overheat. Overheating can cause melting of the insulation and, in extreme cases, fire. Hence my statement. Not always true but I'm...

    Raymarine "drain" wire question

    I'll bet on Roger! That's what I've always done, with all my Raymarine Drains... :shock: The closest negative bus bar will provide sufficient "british grounding" to your systems. Charlie :thup

    Long(!) kicker bracket

    Looks to me like the bracket you have might possibly be mounted upside down? :shock: :roll: I don't like the proximity between the engine an the trim tab either.. I plan to do the same as Sunbeam on Captain's Choice II once I get a Mini-Jacker and pick up my 6HP 4 stroke long shaft engine from...

    LED's Revisited

    Haven't done this mod so I can't help yet. But I will when I get a ROUNDTUIT. BTW, may not be able to with your TANZER 22, most of us have stinkpots! And, while many of us have been blowboaters, only a few have retained that skill/funset!! Try this one...

    You got that right Tom, commencing here again too, with electronics! :thup You'll find a taker for the engine. Talk with the dealer you're buying the replacement from, won't be as much but no shipping, etc, etc. All the PITA stuff and quicker too!.. :wink: Charlie
