Thank You Sea Tow
 
I just wanted to say thanks, lost power on one engine (the one that powers the sterring) few weeks back at the Buffalo poker run. Had to be towed, there was no Sea-Tow on lake Erie so Called corporate 800 # and they sent Tow Boat out. I had to pay Tow Boat but Sea Tow paid the bill as soon as I sent them a copy of it.

Why did you lose power ?

Burnt a fuel pump relay, you can only fix so much on the water plus it was acting like the pump. I did make a jump wire up so if it ever happens again I can wire them direct to battery.

Sea Tow is cheap, always had it when I was in Florida....now am landlocked!!

At least they didn't sink your boat :party-smiley-004: Thought that is what this was going to be about.

Sorry had to...

Glad to hear the reimbursement worked out smoothly, you were telling me about it in the parking lot

I had to use Sea Tow this past Friday too, I lost the bearing on one of my water pumps, I thought about idling in on the other engine, but then thought, hey, I'll call them and when they get here it's party time, anyway when they got there I shut the one engine down and they towed us home, about a four beer trip (an hour), it was totally free, what a great day out in the Gulf.

$399 bucks later the Formula was up and running before the weekend was over.

Just curious, before I Google it, what dose Sea Tow cost a year? Do they cover inland lakes or only "big water"?

You can't get coverage for either or both, we used to have just inland lakes when we lived at LOTO, but when we moved down to the Cape I upgraded to open water, I think inland is like $68 and if you get the complete package like I got for down here was $170 a year, but it's still a deal, wouldn't go out in the ocean without it.
