Sorry I can't find the previous post about the heading/autopilot problems I was having, but here's the update, anyway. Raymarine told me to swing the fluxgate, so I did. It worked for an hour or so, then fell off again. The picture on the plotter showed me backing into the marina with my port...

Went out on the boat today and had some weird stuff on the screen. With the chartplotter diplay on "head up" the little boat icon in the center of the screen was pointed in a different direction. I could visually see the breakwater all the time, but the chart on the plotter showed something...

I have entered into a non-exclusive arrangement with the original listing broker. Therefore, any individual (who has not directly contacted Randall Burg Yacht & Ship about Dive Cat) or agent may contact me directly. Dive Cat is back in Marina Del Rey on her trailer. Delivery is available...

Visited West Marine this mornng and found 2 oval bait tanks, one 20 gal and the other 27 gal. Both would fit perfectly under the former compressor cover where the electric, saltwater and overboard dump access are. A square or rectangular hole would be cut on the top of the cover to accomodate...

Good morning, folks! Dive Cat is in San Diego now, home of some pretty serious fishermen. Where do you TomCat 255 owners put your bait tank. I've got that very large, empty spot where the compressor was that would work, I think, but I'd like to hear what the usual configuration is. Thanks...

Hi, Everyone Can't wait to see some pictures of the SBS from the group up there! Just advising that Dive Cat will be moving to San Diego next week for a period of about 60 days at the Randall Burg Brokerage on Shelter Island. Questions? p.e.m. Have fun! Bob & Katy

This option wasn't even considered when I got Dive Cat, hull #6 or so. I think there was still some issues with engine hole placement and Armstrong Bracket height at the time. Since then, I found my economical speed stops at 8 kts and doesn't start again until 22 kts or so. Granted, I had the...

I have removed the compressor from the boat, thus bringing the price down to $119,000. New Boat: 75,000 Engines: 25,000+ Trailer: 8,500+ with elec/hyd brakes Administrators: I can't figure out how to change the price on the For Sale posting. Would you, please. I'll edit the...

Can anyone tell me the approximate time the hot water in the heater will remain hot if no additional cold is added? Bob Cat

Katy and I recently acquired an old Achilles 8.5, red and black dinghy from a guy that got it with his trawler. It has never been registered in CA. We bought it and received a hand written receipt, but no Cert. of Origin, long lost since the boat is a 1987. How do we get CF numbers, required...

Since there are an increasing number of TomCats out on the prowl, I'm introducing a new subject area specific to the cats and their owners. I think this will be a useful information source for TomCat watchers. Like the C-Dory equivalent, it is open to all information related to TomCats, be it...

Dear Brats, My rear door latch that catches on the stop to hold the door open has a stripped screw, so it just flops around. A larger screw won't fit the countersink. Drilling all the way through and bolting can't be done because of the glass. Looking for suggestions/recommendations. Looks...

Geeks, Is it possible to merge the new New TomCat 255 general topic with the old New TomCat 25 "All C-Dory's, All . . . " topic to keep the thread and resources intact? Thanks, Bob Cat

Full credit to Pete in NY for bringing attention to a practical marine air conditioning unit, powered by a Honda eu1000 generator. www.wrightmarine.net for the mermaid marine unit, from 5,500 btu up. And look at the previous post under "New Boat Arrival . . ." posted Dec 30, for installation...

Another Discovery! I was at a friends home/office today and pulled up a really great desk chair to sit in. Herman Miller, Aeron, Highly Adjustable, Graphite Frame! The ultimate helm chair! Why not??!! Google it. Non-corroding graphite, aluminum, or titanium. Light weight, great look...

Hi, Everyone In the quest for a high quality, uv resistant, non-slip material for the compressor cover and Armstrong Brackets on Dive Cat, I've found a manufacturer of an industrial vinyl flooring material. www.lonsealspecialty.com, then to "marine", then to londeck plate or coin. There's a...

In the finest Hollywood tradition, I have decided to change my name. I will now be known as "Bob Cat". Contrary to Hollywood gossip, I will NOT be changing the name of Dive Cat to "Litter Box". Thank you, BobCat

Hi, General query: Last year some time there were pics of an interior window cover "system". The first layer on the window was the heavy mesh for semi-privacy and sun shade. The top layer was sunbrella for complete black out. I've been looking at albums but haven't been able to find. Can...

Hi, Interested Parties Just returned from the factory(s) and EQ checking on progress of the Tomcat 255. The deck section is done and looks good, at least as much as I could tell because it was laying upside down on a frame over my head! My biggest concern is the fishbox/seat area across the...
