Re: Fact or fiction: running with the chartplotter off to save electricity

We leave ours on for day sails or when within 250NM of land. But on passages like our 26-day Pacific crossing to Pitcairn in 2012, we turned it off at night. Powered it back up at each watch change. ...

Re: LOA Measurement Question

It might depend who is asking and for what purpose they need the measurement! If an insurance company, it is the longest length. Draw an imaginary vertical line at the farthest piece of your boat...

Re: Post Collision Repair or Total

If the damage is over 50% of the Agreed Value, the insurance company is highly likely to consider the boat a total constructive loss. At that point, it is their option whether to take possession of...

Re: Starlink for working while cruising

Re: I Can't Get Boat Insurance

1) Because there are many more auto insurance companies that marine insurance companies. Marine Insurance is a niche market.
2) Auto insurance policies are what is called "filed" policies- one 2021...

Re: Left hanging by Pantaenius

In 18 years in the marine insurance industry, I have never heard of Preuss, you would think their name would have come up before? They are not rated or even listed by AM Best. Do you know who the...

Re: Marinas requiring hull coverage?

Also note, on a claim for damage done by the marina, if your insurance pays out on the claim, then it is subject to your hull deductible. If the marina's insurance pays out, then it would fall under...

Re: Marinas requiring hull coverage?

Agreed. Also note: Since you can not sue yourself, if another party is listed on your insurance as an insured, you also can not sue them for damages to your vessel. Possible solution: if you can get...

Re: Left hanging by Pantaenius

Seems like they are an agency? Do you know who the actual underwriter was? And what their rating is?

Re: Left hanging by Pantaenius

I would advise the other way. Keep your policy for as long as the company will cover you. If the company cancels because they are no longer able to offer coverage, that does not count against you. ...

Re: Left hanging by Pantaenius

I might be able to get you a quote from Velos, it depends on details like hull value, current survey, claims, etc. Anyway, fill out our quote request form and I will see what I can do.

Re: Brand New Mercury 5hp will not run

We have a slightly different motor than yours, but similar story, so hope this helps:
We purchased what we thought was a new Mercury 9hp 4 stroke, but it would not start after it ran just one time....

Re: What to do about Insurance

You are certainly welcome to do that, however, please note there are not many underwriters that will cover an old boat in Florida. We will likely all go to the same underwriter, so we ask that you...

Re: What to do about Insurance

Re: Me again Re Tenders

Most insurance companies will not cover a tender that is towed. There is a statistically large chance that it will flip or the line will chafe and part.

Re: To claim, or not to claim.

Here is an easy way to determine what is and isn't covered by most policies:

Sudden, accidental, and unforeseeable (including stupid mistakes like running into things) = Covered

Re: Boat lender as insurance "loss payee", is it ok?

If the boat is a total loss, and the boat is not repairable, then the Loss Payee [bank] listed on the policy gets paid the outstanding amount of the loan and you get the rest. And the insurance...

Re: I Can't Get Boat Insurance

Actually, most companies would rather write full coverage than Liability only. So by asking for liability only, you are limiting your options. Also, you will still need a survey. Contrary to popular...

We sold our 12' AB RIB and bought an OC tender, and the difference in the planing is remarkable. We have gone from using an 18 HP on the AB to a 9.9 HP outboard on the OC-T and have not lost any...

Re: Can't get Insurance

None of the above. It would be by the claims adjuster, for failure to disclose a material fact regarding one of the vessel's operators.
