Probably hit the mountain of outdrives lying on the seabed.............
Just walk round any "Boatyard" anywhere in the world,marvel at the sheer number of forlorn boats with gaping holes in the transom, a few ` with merely the leg missing and little puddle of oily mud marking its removal.
At the premium end of the market ie, "The Marina" watch the Volvo Penta technician glance at his Rolex, logging travelling time on his IPad and handing an unfortunate outdrive owner an impressive estimate for repairs which unfortunately will not be covered by the warranty.
VP limit liability to first user and 600 hours only.
Twin Disc give 2000 hour warranty on all their gearboxes .
I know of 2 people who had to have their twin disc boxes rebuilt by MIT neither covered by warranty, one was abot 12k and other was 16k inc labour to remove & refit, makes an outdrive rebuild look good value.
