Stump9000 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Has anyone of you ever heard of a boat manufacture doing a recall on a boat? Leave it to me to buy the first one ever recalled. Gauges are catching on fire they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountainman Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hey Jim, OMC put out a recall in the mid 90's on a bunch of HydraSports and Javelins because they found out there was insuffiecient flotation in the gunwales......I dont think I want to know how they determined that, but to answer your original question, it is not unheard of but certainly not a common practice, either.

Whopper Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I've heard of a couple in the past, Legend boats had one a few years back and it seems to me Tracker had a problem with a certain aluminum semi v hull that a friend had that leaked from day one, after a couple of trips back they finally gave him new hull. My boat is an I/O and while changing the oil I found a 3/8" bolt that was broken laying in the bilge, couldn't figure out for the life of me where it came from At that time the boat was about three years old. Made a phone call to the marina I bought it from and he had me bring it back and they would fix it free of charge. I asked him what they were going to fix and he said they had a bulletin on my engine that required them to install a bracket on the starter because the bolts that held the starter to the block were sheering off. The marina is located about three hours away so I asked him if he could send me the parts and I would do it myself, he told me he'd be happy to but went on to explain to do it right the engine has to be removed I told him to forget about sending me the parts I would bring it to him the following weekend, went up on a Friday night and they fixed it on a Saturday, I fished out of it on Sunday.
