I get home, there is a voicemail - she went to do it and the manager said she cant. They said I should come down and take the cover off and they are too busy hauling boats to help me. The girl was a little miffed, saying it would be no big deal for her, but they wont let her. We're talking 3 minutes of work for a customer that has been with them for 4 years. WTF????? I will call tomorrow and chew them out and then will blast them every chance I get on the web. Sorry I dont have yacht, but they have a bunch of open slips and next year there will be one more!
I think they have a liability if they don't help you Jimmy. After you have informed them of a problem and they don't help you rectify it, it could be on them. Like if the covers rip off, blah blah blah.

I agree with the liability issue more than the work issue. Being nice people these days, gets you screwed if something doesn't go right.

I've my boat trashed, my batteries stolen, my drain plug pu'lled out.

I love my trailer,it's always in the yard. behind my gate

I,ve been called twice by my marina .in 34 years .

once to tell me my boat a was sinking & the other to tell me my sisters was about to sink .

with mine .. I had a real job @ the time ...........it went over like #$%^&* when I just told them I had to leave ,cuz my boat was sinking ....... all the excuts & bosses played golf not fishing .

by sister I was all cleaned & dressed up for a appointment ..I had to go down there on a hot day /bail from the dock til it safe to get inside / then get in & 5 gallon it .til I could get a charger on it .


I,ve seen a few boats sunk ther e..
