I desperately need help. I have a 2002 340 Sundancer with Mercruiser motors. I have been told by a certified mechanic that both motors suffered water ingestion due to a faulty exhaust crossover. The angle is wrong. This has been documented in a BOAT US consumer protection article AND in a Mercruiser service bulletin (no. 2001-13). The mechanic contacted Mercruiser and they told him "too bad, it's out of warranty, and he's not the original owner." I purchased a Legacy extended warranty when I purchased the boat and their reply was "that's not covered." The motors are original with nothing done to them to have caused this problem. Am I wrong in thinking that it should be the same policy as when you buy a used car....if there is a recall, not matter who the owner is, the company fixes the problem? Any suggestion is greatly Appreciated
