I took the boat back because i want to use it whilst we still have some reasonable weather and before I go overseas when i might put the boat up for sale.
So I havent got the time to argue the toss with them and/or take it further to get a replacement gearbox fitted at their cost which may or may not happen.

Unless of course you know a lawyer that has a different view on this...

If they have similar Insurance policy to the motor trade then they should have cover for 'Faulty Workmanship' which I would think this would come under-I claimed years ago for an engine plus damage as a result of a machanic not putting an engine back together correctly,it exploded putting a hole in the bonnet and radiator, but they won't cover betterment.I hope this helps.

I wonder if the dog clutch could be glued back together?
A bit of P40 over the hole - jobs a goodun.

They put the boat in the water and started the engine and bang went the gearbox, just like that. They said - "We just started it, it was in neutral and we didn't put in gear whilst running, honest we didn't".

hmmmmmm really
