Good evening, only recently found this forum, I have had a maxum 2700scr now for ten years, great boat, 2001 model, re-engined with a mercruiser 6.2 in 2008, engine rebuilt in 2013 and engine has given up the ghost again today, water ingress caused by freezing, this is in spite of putting over fifty hours on the engine over the summer!! I am going to try the insurance company tomorrow see what they say.
The original engine was a 7.4 mercruiser, it had only done 100 hours but the leg has perished and rotted so when I replaced the leg I opted for a complete package for the safety, this cost UK £16000, then I had a problem two years ago which they said was due to water getting onto the top of the engine from washing the decks down, this time they have said that the exhaust manifold has split and has water ingress from freezing, I have used the same mechanic each time, they are a registered mercruiser dealer, not a cowboy outfit but still not happy with their service really. What would anybody recommend?
I would have thought the water on the engine would have drained away as well? I have spoken to a couple of people about this boat shop and a couple of people have told me to be wary!! It is the only one in the area that is a mercruiser dealer though so I am at a bit of a loss
