I hit a submerged log awhile back, I had moorage/comprehensive insurance. Do to
the age of the outboard the mechanic deemed it unfixable. The aluminum transum
was also damaged. The Insurance co. only payed out 10,000 which was enough for a replacement
outboard, but not enough for guages/controls and instalation. Nothing for the damage repair for the
transum. They said 10,000 was all they would give me becouse on purchase of the insurance they asked
how much I figured the boat was worth in it's current shape and age, which I replied "10,000 guess".
Has anyone had experience with claims like this, I'm wondering if they should have paid more to
repair all damage done by the log strike.
