We are interested in a boat at our marina, a 2001 Carver, bridge boat. Heres the story.
freshwater lake.
Owner was out boating and high water alarm goes off. He opens the engine room hatch and a water line has popped off. He goes to turn the seacock off and the handle breaks(still broken off). He panics and races back to the marina short distance away. Gets tied up and starts the water removal process. Water gets to the top of the transmissions but not to the engines. Insurance pays for the work at our marina. Transmissions get serviced and new carpet in the salon. new fridge that they say is unrelated to the water damage. you can actually see on the wall where the water came to according to the wood stain.
obviously a full survey is warranted but I wanted your opinions on the wiring in the bilge. any damage to the wiring that might not rear its head till later? anything else to consider? I feel pretty certain since it was an insurance job my marina took full advantage of fixing anything possible. they even got the insurance company to pay for a full buff and wax.
