I'm hoping to get your thoughts on the following before I start "battling" with my local MM.
I have a 2006 340 Sundancer purchased new at the end of August 2006. When we purchased this boat, I went ahead and purchased the "Passport Premier" extended warranty MM offers that cost a cool $7700.
First of all, I STILL have not received the actual paper copy of this warranty (just like other dock neighbors who also purchased boats and said warranty from this MM location).
This MM has told me that dock calls to my boat (as opposed to leaving my boat at their marina location that has no cover and you are not guaranteed the work will get done within the week you bring the boat there) are not covered under this warranty, may be covered under this warranty, are covered under this warranty, and, finally, are not covered under this warranty. On an invoice I just received, they are charging $90.00 for each dock call - my marina is about a 10 to 15 minute drive from their marina location.
In addition, one of the items I recently had them check out was a bilge stain that I noticed between my starboard batteries and my generator (this was in addition to a blower issue I had them checking out at the same time). MM told me it was an overflow stain from the battery. The recent invoice I just received from them illustrates a $90.00 charge for a new battery that they replaced - nothing was wrong with my original battery and they are charging me for this because this is not a warranty item.
About 2 weeks after by blower problem and stain issue, my windlass would not work. MM came to my dock, said the solenoid need to be replaced, ordered the part, and replaced it. Now they are saying my warranty (again the super-duper $7700 warranty I purchased 1 year ago along with my $232,000 boat) rejected this claim and I must pay them $343.00 for this!
How would you handle this?
Thanks so much.
