Anyone who has undertaken DIY with lithium,let alone added lithium on own vessel may have inadvertently nullified insurance. Most insurers exclude modification Lithium replacing lead acid = modification from vessels original design. Check with your insurer or use a professional as...

Lithium batteries are causative to many fires consensus down my pub insurers will get tough on Lithium installation where DIY undertaken and to check with insurer,not only on boats but anything. Mine wont touch DIY installation for my craft. Would hate to think the reaction if I told them I...

Lithium Batteries next or am I already behind the times?

Not trying to be a party pooper . Could be me on reading GJW policy wording. 10.21 Section 3 Galvanic Corrosion or electrolysis - Policy excludes if you are unable to demonstrate that anodes of sufficient size and appropriate type installed and annually checked. Question checked by who...

Lithium appears to be all the rage. I would first of all consult with a professional trades person or company including your insurers. DIY saves money at the outset but in the long run?

Anyone insured with Tokyo Marine Insurance Company and claims journey? Never heard of them until today.

Currently boat less ,Nautical on previous craft. Friendly service wider cover wider than Craftinsure and competitive. Had a small claim and settled speedily . Hope to get another boat in Spring ,Nautical for me.

If you told your insurer at the time of the initial hit then they will have it logged. The vessel should be lifted and inspected. Most insurance policies cover bottom inspection . Down side if you have shopped around and changed insurers then your current insurers would rightly refer you back...

I dropped Craftinsure as one to approach . Far too much little print and felt uncomfortable with just a few clicks to arrange. The policy imo did not appear to be as comprehensive or as wide as others such as Haven ,Nautical and GJW . Tokio marine .How do you deal with a Japanese insurer if...

I had the same situation. Took my tender home only a mile and stopped by plod as I was not showing any number plate or rear lights. Got warned not to do it again .I checked with my boat insurers who told me under road traffic act marine insurers are not legally able to offer liability...

The Craftinsure website clearly states if your vessel 20 years of age or over you must have a survey .Easy to understand and clearly not worth time and effort in obtaining a quote as you are just wasting your money if suckered in. Craftinsure also state if you have a survey all recommendations...

Try Nautical in Leigh on Sea. Found them to be helpful in the past.

Having read through the Holyhead case with the marina able to limit liability the assumption a vessel laid up is a lesser risk is now out of the window imo. Imagine a domino claim as the marina tractor clips a vessel which results in a number of craft falling over with combined damage over...

Having read I am of the view that whilst two names on the papers with a high number of craft damaged if not destroyed then a number of insurance companies and Lloyds of London may have been involved. I wonder who insured the marina and does the insurer also insure yachts as well? Robbing...

Speak to Nautical highly regarded.
