what would you do
i took my 28 eliminator daytona into a marina to get the starbaord water pump changed. i have a extended warranty on the engines. the marina told me it would take 14 or more hours to do the work. they said they have to pull the motor. i was told by the service mgr that my warranty will only cover 8 hours. and i will have to pay the rest. so i called the warranty co, and asked why would they only cover 8 hours. i was told that they called the factory and they where told 8 hours was plenty of time. so i called the fatory and 3 other boat dealerships. and i was told the same thing by all. that 3 hours was plent and the warranty co was being overly generouse. and the engine does not have to be pulled. what would you do? thanks

BS on havin to pull the engine, 3 hours to replace the water pump is about right.
Go get your boat and take it somewhere else.

Where are you located? Dallas? Not many places around the metroplex that can work on these boats. I would pick the boat up NOW.

Get it the heck out that shop. 3-4 hours is plenty and flat rate is 8 hours! The shop is doing well on that job. You don't have to pull the engine.
