I left the marine industry after 25 years because I got tired of doing my own warranty work.... Or actually the last 9 years of custom yachts I oversaw the construction of we never had an owner return for warranty work. None...NAdA... Our last warranty expires Jan 2, 2019. Full material and craftsmanship 5 years. If it broke we replaced it or did the repair on our dollar. From water pumps, tanks, Tecma toilets, Volvo engines, Garmin electronics, 3M sealants, Valspar or Cooks Composites Gelcoats, custom woodwork, custom wire harness, custom upholstery with Ultra Leather, etc.
The best part was our boats never LEAKED.... hull joints, portholes, deck hatches, hull penetrations, shaft logs, etc.....
As of today, Dec 10, 2017, we have over $24000 in repair bills to our 2017 Memphis. Either insurance or warranty covered about $14000 of that. So we are 10k in the hole on a $124k unit in 17 months of ownership.... So its cost us about 700 a month in repairs.
