Ketchup Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Question just for my own satisfaction, for a just in case scenario. My boat is rated for a 150. I currently have a Merc. 115 on it, but plan on upgrading to a 150 soon. I purchased this boat used from the original owner, who used it less than 10 hours a year, and it never spent a day outside, and condition shows it. He had a dealer service it every year for which I have every receipt that was ever spent. Doing my research on this boat, there have been 2 reports I've found out of the thousands that have a 150 mounted, where their transom cracked due to the heavier weight, they stated. Both boat were using a 6" jack plate also. My my question is, the warranty is out on this boat. With it being rated for a 150, if the transom were to have issues, would my boat insurance cover this?

fishinwrench Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 No unless there was evidence of impact. Don't neglect to install dual cable or hydraulic steering when you upgrade from the 115. A single cable steering system is not adequate for a 150. dtrs5kprs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
