    The exhaust is above the level of the transom. Any carbon monoxide concerns?

    Air Conditioning for the TomCat

    You can get a pigtail with a standard plug on one side (plugs into the Honda 2000 watt generator) and a 30 amp connector on the other that you can plug your shore power cord into. I have one.

    Hello From The Sundog Crew

    Joe: I had a 1978 GB 32 before I got the Tomcat. I loved that boat, but it did require a lot of maintenance. A few thoughts from my experience..I am sure you already have these items on your list. Make sure your fuel tanks are clean before you start on your long trip! Your boat is probably on...

    Cruising the Gulf Coast

    We have been up and down the gulf coast in the ICW from Mermentau River in Louisiana to South Padre Island at the Texas-Mexico Border. Fuel is not an issue once you get to Lake Charles, LA, where I would recommend the Bowtie Marina in Contraband bayou. The Port Arthur Marina had not yet been...

    Bottom Paint Questions

    Regarding the transducer- I have a Raymarine transom mounted transducer with a paddle-wheel. I tried the transducer paint sold at marine stores- did nothing to prevent barnacle growth. Now I just slap a couple of layers of Micron CSC right on the transducer housing when I touch up the bottom...

    struggling with cabin windows

    What Pat said: Push the window hard towards the "closed" direction before pulling in the "open" direction. You will be surprised by how much difference this makes. I also use Liquid Rollers.

    Changing oil filter on Suzuki 150

    I need to change the oil filters on my Suzuki DF 150s. To get to the filter, I will have to remove the bottom part of the engine cowling. I can see 5 screws that seem to hold the two halves of the cowling together. I presume that I can just take out the screws and pull the cowling off. Is it...

    Any Tomcat owners using ablative paint?

    Matt: I have not noticed any build-up- I guess I just tend to put more coats in areas of heavy wear (which are obvious because you can see little "dots" of epoxy peeking through) and less where the paint appears to have weathered less. It all seems to balance out. At Tomcat speeds, I guess...

    Any Tomcat owners using ablative paint?

    Alok - how often do you have to sand down layers of your ablative paint? I never sand down layers of the paint, since I have always used the same paint. I just put a new coat over the old one after preparing the surface as above. I do a very light sanding followed by a light rub with the...

    Any Tomcat owners using ablative paint?

    Matt: To answer your original question: I use Micron CSC, which is an ablative paint. We cruise at 25-27 knots for around 125 hours/year. The wear is very uneven- some areas need a touch-up every 6 months, others don't wear much at all. Most of the paint wear and flaking is at three points: 1...
