hopefully they don't just let it sit.
or insurance could pick up the tab.

I had a Suzuki 225 that went under, just 6 months old. If the insurance won't total them, I'd look to sell them as salvage and take what the repair would've cost. I had nothing but problems after this engine was "fixed". Suzuki fixed all the problems under warranty but the time lost and uncertainty every time I went out isn't worth it. Too many little electronic parts to go wrong with these newer engines.

Thanks for the well wishes. I just got back from my Zuke dealer we found a broken fitting coming off one of my deck drains, looks like it broke and dropped inside the starboard sponson. Must have started a siphon as the through hull is below the water line. Bilge pump must not have been able to keep up or maybe clogged or something, hard to tell. I am still in shock I think and don't know what my insurance company is going to do.
I only have 10 hrs on the engines, she was running sweet with the new power. Hope to be back in soon but who knows!
