Oooooh dear. Similar thing happened in Swansea Marina some years back, on the Pontoon opposite Force 4. I don't think the staff had even noticed it.

Oops, be interesting to hear what failed to cause that, the boat looks quite new.
Back in the late 80s/early 90s some friend of our had a new sunseeker portofino 31 (I think) and that sank on its mooring - also in puerto portals. If I remember correctly it was put down to a faulty toilet letting water in, just goes to show that yoh should close your seacocks when not on board.

IPS lower unit was struck by a fish and fell to the bottom of the marina, leaving a large hole in the hull.

I would be amazed if anything to do with IPS. If anything that is the least likely issue to have caused this.

Is it too early to ask how much for the radar?

Decent gardiennage would have prevented this.

What happens to them ?
Nothing broken no structural damage ( excluding the offending pipe ) its just totally waterlogged.Cant really be repaired and given back to the policy holder I assume?
So once the insurance forks out where does the boat go ? Action house ?
Interestingly there’s been a few insurance posts recently.
Vaguely remember the Sunseeker shield for S/Skr owners would give a direct new replacement if under 36 months .
Wonder if FL ever linked up with the underwriting chaps ?
Hope the owners not too much out of pocket .
All Joking aside ...another line of investigation that needs eliminating is a guardian or “ engineer “ on board phaffing with seacocks and under water pipes ...but I doubt it .Lets give FL some credit they would not use underwater TTH fittings and seacocks made of alka seltzer’s .
Looking at the pics of IPS there’s a lot of pipes + clamps .New instal fine .But if “ engineers “ have been phaffing fixing issues stuff might not have been re secured as well as factory instal / sea trail .
Interesting to find out .
I bet some ones been on it yesterday ?Or as per Clancy Moped ^^^ it’s past it’s Easter haul out ( Corvid 19 ) and there’s an anode issue= Something crucial with IPS or otherwise has expired and the thing holding water back fizzed away .
