Thread: new boat

the new honda outboard had a blown alternator fuse. Resulting in the first time he took it out havving to be towed back in as battery went flat.
The under tank leaked due to pin holes in welds. Took some time to get resolved. Oversized pipes also put on the tank connection that was done up so tight just to try seal the connection. since changed hoses.

The leaking tank resulted in him having 2 bilge pumps replaced as the fuel leak was bad enough to pool up at the back of the boat and melt the bilge pump.

The boarding gate he had put on was like a lift up gate that leaks so much water in that it would have been better off not putting it on,It constanly leaks water in even at rest.

It is a nice boat i guess he has had bad luck. The response he got was like we will come and get it and refund you . The guy had a go at him. He said ive paid good money and want t keep it . Just fix it. Doesn't help they are in south island and he was in the north.Based on his experience i guess i may miss out on a nice boat thru them but im not keen on shittee service
