As some of you may recall, last November I had my outboard (2004 9.9Hp 4 stroke Tohatsu XL shaft) stolen while it floated in my slip at Marina Village, Mission Bay. They carefully unbolted it from the transom (thankfully, there was no structural damage)and cut the small lock on the ears of the transom clamps. They also stole my metal Tempo 6 gal fuel tank that fit so well in the fuel locker, which incidentally had the rudder pin and washers sitting on top of it.

Well, I submitted all the required papers to BoatUS and they cut me a check to cover all the losses minus the $280 deductible. They were exceptionally friendly and great to work with.

As for the rudder pin, I called up Edson and inquired about the cost of a new rudder pin, and nylon washers. They told me no problem and sent the parts to me in California no charge. What service!

On a down note, my Credit Union, which still holds the lien for the boat, wants to hold the check until I show proof that I bought the motor (BoatUS made it out to me AND the credit union). Huh??? How am I supposed ot buy the motor when you are holding the money bag? It's not really a problem but it just goes to show that it's a crazy world.

BTW, I had a '94 Tohatsu 2 stroke sitting in the garage for about 10 years. It is now doing great on the stern of C Angel, until I get a new four stroke. Those 2 strokes do stink a little more but they last forever!

Have your bank write a cheque to the company you want to buy the OB from.

That sounds just like an episode we had about 18 years ago when the weight of ice and snow brought down a poorly installed carport we added a few years after buying the house. didn't make any difference that we paid for the carport ourselves. The insurance check was made out to us and the mortgage company. I had to endorse it and mail it to them for countersignature, not the other way around. Then they sent us a draft made payable to us and the new company we selected to repair the damage to the house and rebuild the carport.

Well, the people who hold the lien are potentially, ultimately stuck with the house or boat, so they want it to be worth what it's supposed to be worth.

BoatUS has treated my friends' claims very well.

Amen! My 2 stroke outboard will probably outlast me.
