Warranty claim or not on thru hull/seacock? - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
Long story short, brought my
boat from
winter storage to summer place yesterday. Started working on systems, turning things on etc.
Got to a
thru hull for refrig and
salt water sea
pump. Went to turn it, but it wobbled. See video. Said ok, let me tighten nut, but looked at nut and 1/4 of it was missing. Sent video to yard manager, who called me right back and said, turn around and come back immediately, this isn't good, you need to be out of the
water.
Now the issue is, I bought this
boat new at the 15
Annapolis boat show, brought it to storage where it sat for the
winter 15/16. Then the boat was day sailed only about 25 times last summer, then put up
on the hard for the winter.
I can't imagine this
thru hull should fail like this at 1.5 years, and 25 times sailed.. The yard manager thinks that it is not a bad
installation, but rather bad product. He will know more when he takes this out. Also, not sure if you can see on the other
photo, but the thru hull/seacock next to it locking nut is cracked. Not just as bad as the loose one. But clearly this has to come out as well.
Also, if anyone knows about thru
hull issues with
Lagoon, pls let me know. Thanks.
