The shop where your boat is probably has a great deal on a used outdrive . . . :party-smiley-004:

trc..
Sorry to hear your troubles.. I been through hell in the past 6 months to.. but.. report it to your insurance.. get it done,, get a replacement and let your insurance guys go after the shop.. 99.9 % of the time it's an "inside job" anyway..
The shop does has the responsibility.. even if they don't admit it.

You would think so wouldn't you. I doesn;t work that way in Indiana. If it's locked up inside their building, maybe, inside their fence, it's your insurance. We just delt with this issue. Insurance company, police, they all agreed.

lawdocx3 06-21-2008 08:38 AM

Like Paradox said - Make a claim on your insurance and let them investigate the shop.

Sorry to hear that. I had my props stolen the day I picked mine up once. The shop did the sea trial and backed the boat up against the wall of the shop so close I can't even believe they got the props off. They probably would have got the drives too if out in the open. Fortunatly had the reg props on it. My good ones were safe at home. Drive / prop locks are a must. It may not stop them but will slow them down.

Sorry to hear this and I feel your pain but look at all the gas you're saving.

took them 7 months to install chargers and heads and your drive gets stolen as well? I would get my boat out of there asap!

I went round and round with Twin Disc, when my boat was in their fenced yard, ten foot high, with barb wire on top. I was having the transmission rebuilt, when everything in the boat was stolen. Twin Disc read the thread here on Oso, and said it had gone too far, that now they weren't going to deal with me. Needless to say, they did, when I pointed out I wasn't the one calling for their collective hides. After they tried that tactic, I got extrememly salty when talking to the VP in Jax. They ended up paying me for what I could remember was stolen. I still think it was a inside job.

At the least you need to make an unannounced visit asap, timing is suspicious

When ever a shop takes your vehicle in it "Creates a Bailment" in simple words the shop is responsible for any losses or damage. When ever I take a customers boat in I make them take home "Anything not bolted down" or they have the option of at their expense ordering a storage pod and storing their junk and they keep the keys. I also give the boat a real intense go over with the digital camera paying special attention to"existing damage". I've had stuff stolen from customers boats. But the very next business day I was in contact with my insurance company to make things right. You should always check on the tech's insurance before you let them work on your boat. Specially if it's a service call in a marina. Tech messes up and catches your boat on fire and it spreads to other boats the lawyers will go after the insurance first and if there is no insurance they will go after the tech & YOU!:p
