Check your insurance policies about your towing coverages. Our boats engine shut down earlier this week but we were able to return to our dock. Our mechanic was out of town and wouldn't be available until after Labor Day. Yesterday I called TowboatUS to arrange for a tow to a ramp about a mile or so away so I could put it back on the trailer and told them where our slip was. He said that our insurance policy says that if I wasn't broken down someplace and it wasn't an emergency I would have to wait for a week day for a tow from a slip or boathouse. What?!? Doesn't sound right to me. I told him if I went to the slip pushed my boat back into the cove anchored and called you back would you come?!? He said yes! I know it's a holiday weekend and know they're busy but............ I have BoatUS underwritten by Geico. I have $300 per tow. TowboatUS charge would have been $165 an hour and he said it would have been at least 2 hrs........Ill have to do some research.
Thanks again to Carl and Suzi for the tow to the ramp..../monthly_2016_09/large.image.jpeg.88cdb3efe8d9ed0a568b89dcf598c746.jpeg
