I got my boat back! The insurance company settled on a long block.

Off to put some break-in hours on it.

How did you get your insurance to pay for it?

[TeamAllen]

Great News! Tear it up.

The Water, not the engine.

Put some hours on it so when you are here to the event, your boat is ready and roaring.

We got about 4 hours on it yesterday, the first few are the worst - not exceeding 2,000 rp for the first hour meant we did on average about 4 mph I think that max speed was something like 7.8 mph

da.bell, the damage was caused by a plastic bag getting sucked up into the raw water intake, the insurance company deemed it an insurable event. It completely starved the engine of water. Someone told me that this was most likely why the alarm didn't sound, that the sensors literally don't work in air. Anyway...we got some hours on it yesterday.

I sucked something up a couple of weeks ago and it did a number on my impeller and housing. Luckily for me, the sensors and housing did work.

What he really wants to know is what brand of plastic bag you used

Not an entire engine, a long block and TRUST me the insurance company was all over that engine when it got yanked out. They reviewed all my service records for the last 4 years, including oil changes!!!! Luckily, I have always taken it to the mechanic for the oil change and he had the records on site. Also, the winterization, chaning the impellor twice a year, etc. They were LOOKING for a reason to deny the claim. AND the adjuster hung over the engine as they yanked the impellor housing to find bits of the plastic bag and the destroyed impellor.
