Can't one up this one, remind me to stay "Way clear of you" for fear of a lightning bolt to strike you next!
Blew the ECU to my Merc 225 opti. Merc was a little slow with working with the mechanic fixing it. Left me without a boat for a month
MinnKota is falling apart at just about every critical point. Mostly because I run the boat hard and the trolling motor real takes a beating up front.
Broke a Rogue Rod this spring and was left scratching my head about there lifetime warranty policy and how they honored it. Needless to say I left Rogue as a pro staff and now represent Powell rods who have been wonderful to deal with.
Much of my Nitro's nuts, bolts, screws have been coming lose, broken, or otherwise worthless for holding the damn thing together. I love the boats layout and storage but hate how poorly they finish a boat. I have seen other boat manufactures do the same cheap ass techniques. REALLY you boat manufactures, that the best you can do to hold the boat together.

Phil Mehrtens said:You both have out done me but I did manage to dump money into my vmax.I spent about 600 dollar replacing my entire fuel lines and system thanks to the wonderful e 10 gas . it rotted the gas lines from the inside out,fuel tank pump out and replaced the vst filter and water seperater after only 5 hrs of operation and a set of plugs. Also replaced the tranducer for my trollin motor and cracked the housing on the head unit .Never wanna do that again,you have to take the entire trollin motor apart to relpace one piece of motor cover "minnkota"if you ever have to repair one take a pic before you take apart it will save hours of time.As for stuff coming loose I am with ya Mark.I would figure if ya spend upwards to 50 grand for a boat it should at least hold together.I spent a day tightening everything on my skeeter. Locktight works well.I guess it comes down to if ya wanna play your gonna pay.

No pain with the broken equipment either. Stuff breaks. I am more surprised at high dollar equipment that doesn't last very long. When my graph failed the practice day before the Banks Championship, I called Rori and Nixons Marine from the water. He helped me troubleshoot the problem over the phone (Rori is the man,) and one of the first questions was the age of the unit. I told him 3 years, and he said "Well, that's about as long as they last." Glad lowrance doesn't make stuff for NASA!!!
Phil if you are still under warranty they should fix it for nothing. Had I known this was an ongoing problem I would have had it fixed while it was still under warranty.
My warranty ended March 09. I had it fixed Oct 09. The problem, if you have this one, is the power will shut off in your boat. It's real intermittent. You will just be fishing or running and your dash shuts off. No problem you can turn it back on but the last time it happened the power would not turn on. It's happened to me for the last couple of years. It happened so little I didn't think or even remember to tell the boat dealer to look at it when I took it in every year. I think they should have let me know before my warranty ended.
