If you have read my previous posts you know I have had a great number of problems with my 2014 330 DA which I purchased new. Recently the AC unit had to be replaced - $3k on my dime. Now the sea pump malfunctioned and has been spraying water on my engines. Last month I noticed some rust on the alternator and starboard manifold. I sprayed it with rust remover and rust repellent, started the engines and found no obvious source of sea water. I have not been able to use the boat until last week. The drive lube was low on the starboard engine. When I went to add more there was rust all over both engines. MarineMax has the boat and the repair estimate is about $11k. I have an extended warranty and they are telling me that likely this too will not be covered. I now have over $20k of non-warranty repairs on this boat. This will take me well over $30k in three and a half years. MarineMax is saying this is an insurance issue. I feel that if a part fails and damages the engines it is a warranty issue.
