Members mpark Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 May be a question that has been answered before but I was wondering if there is an On Water Service for boats experiencing mechanical problems while on the lake. I know I have pulled others back to the marina myself but there are times when another boat may not be able to respond. Is there is a service available? If so, I would like to have the number stored in my phone. Would a 911 call get assistance while on the lake? Of course the next problem is ATT phone reception around Roark. tho1mas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothman Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I fished with a guy that had boatus a couple of years ago and we had engine trouble. They wouldn’t come help us and wanted something like $150 to come help us despite him having paid for the insurance. Moral of the story: read the fine print. I know he canceled after that incident.

That's the first I've heard of that kinda crap. Usually as long as you join and pay your 70-80 bucks they come right away. Otherwise yeah it costs quite a bit more.

MoCarp Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Once night fishing at Stockton big motor died and exhausted the troller about 6 miles from the boat ramp...one paddle, me and my buddy took 6 hours to make it back against a very light wind, not a soul on the lake...I’d gladly paid to get towed... my arms and back killed me for a month after that MONKEYS? what monkeys?

fishinwrench Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 As many guys as we have here on OA there's no reason any of us should be left stranded for very long. Just put a HELP! post on here with your phone number, and somebody that can help is either gonna come running...or know someone that will and can contact them. I check in here 3-4 times a day, and I know plenty of others do too. We won't leave you out there with the gators and skeeters for very long. zarraspook, nomolites, jbeenemd and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
