Maybe my turn for new boat time

Dealer wanted me to bring the boat in so they could fix. Since I found that both bolts are missing they are sending me the bolt and I'll install

Found another dealer which is also a Formula dealer, said they have 4 Mercruiser tech's. Be checking them out maybe in the fall if not just stopping by sooner

how much labor are you charging to you dealer for not doing warranty work?

Funny

well, i would. that is more of a dealer prep thing not a failure after the fact. Especially a two or whatever year old boat.

I think one of the challenges with this boat ( as I understand it) is although essentially new, it has been through a couple of winterization cycles with the selling dealer.
It may take a while to get any wrenching issues sorted out to achieve a steady state.

Received the new bolt and installed, so it's ready (I hope)

When replacing the bolt I had to remove the step just inside to gain access, dealer did also. Found some issues there also and fixed them

On a very good note, I bought the boat from Bay Marine and told them about the missing pump and low Bat, they just called and said they will be sending me both of them new. Been great to deal with and I just asked if they could help me a little to pay for the Bat only, did not expect full cost.

Hopefully it is all good going forward
