I recently had engine troubles on the lake where somone offered to tow my boat. So, of course I took them up on this offer. While in tow his rope broke and was replaced with one of mine. We got back to the ramp and trailered the boat. I offered to pay him for his help in which he declined, so I gave him my name & number in case there was ever anything I could ever do in return in my range of work.
A week later, he calls me to tell me that later on the day of the incident, he discovered that his boat was not operating properly. He took it to a repair shop where they discovered rope wrapped around the inside of his prop and that it broke off a tooth somewhere in the lower unit.
He is now requesting that I pay the $1000.00 to repair the damage. I am not sure of the right thing to do since it seems to be a freak accident from my point of view.
