I, too, do not know what the right answer is. I do know that I value this site tremendously. I do not want it to become like so many others. I have no problem with philosophical discussions if they remain philosophical. Lately they have had a tendency to degenerate into bar fights. This I do...

What Joe said (Part 2).

Bill: I agree 100%. Thank you.

Charlie: Am I missing something? I have 150 Suzukis that are used in salt water. I flush them in the water with the engine off and the motors vertical (prop in the water). With the engine off, the water pump is not sucking anything. I run fresh water using a garden hose attached to the...

Bob: As always, anything you write makes me sit up and take notice. Out of curiosity I did some further exploration... I was interested in this statement by Dr. Christy: "It is scientifically inconceivable that after changing forests into cities, turning millions of acres into irrigated...

I've been following this thread with great interest... As someone once said: If something is believed to be true, it will have consequences whether it is true or not... BUT ALSO If something is true, it will have consequences whether it is believed to be true or not... Time will tell.

tsturm: No why didn't I think of that... :idea: There are plenty of round 2" hour meters available for less than $25 that should fit the cutouts of my current meters. This seems to be the simplest solution. Thanks Alok

Bob and others: Thanks for the feedback. The Lowrance is an intriguing possibility. I guess I would need one for each motor. The price is about $120 each, though. I am still unclear as to why the Suzuki meters keep going belly up. Of course, the the main engine gauges provide the approximate...

I have twin Suzuki 150s on my Tomcat. The Suzuki engine hour meters keep dying- the third set has bit the dust. The boat is only an year old. They do not die simultaneously- first one goes, and then the other. I cannot believe that Suzuki would sell something that was this unreliable. I wonder...

Even if you keep in the water all year, it will still have to come out of the water for servicing the motors. How do you plan to handle that? If the boat is out of the water for more than a few days- which is likely if you are getting the service done by a shop- then ordinary bottom paints will...

The TC 255 can absolutely be lifted with a sling. Lots of stuff about bottom paint here: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... ttom+paint

Don't count out Suzukis if the price is right...a number of us have had good luck with Suzuki 150s. Of course, you need to have a place to service them close by.

The mileage will certainly not go up; the mileage and top speed might go down by a fraction. That has been my experience. In fact, I posted a query to that effect on a previous thread. Below, I am copying the response from Sea Wolf which I found useful...

Patti/Barry: You said what I was trying to say- but much more elegantly. Thank you

Golerud: You appear to have touched a nerve because there have been a number of threads lately on quality control issues on C-Dory boats, and some of the negative comments - mostly by people who did not own a C-Dory, and had no experience using them- appear to have been unjustified. Even so, I...

But are you willing to wait for 5000 years? :shock:

John: Check out this thread, and the threads referenced within the thread... http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... t+handling My two bits: The Tomcat will plane in the high teens (perhaps even at 15 mph with permatrims) but it really comes into its own at 25 to 30 mph (top speed is in...

Thanks, Bob- Another question answered!

The significance of the satellite switch has also been talked about in another forum. Below, I am posting a question I asked Raymarine and their answer. As you can see, this "conversation" occurred just last week. Question: I have a C80 MFD with GPS/2 KW radar/depthsounder system purchased...

You've got two tanks! Would you be willing to let just one tank run dry- so that we can all know for sure? :D
