What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Recently I took my boat to a local shop to install lower unit and replace water pump. I took the boat out on the lake only to get stranded minutes later with a completely destroyed lower uinit because there was no oil in it.
I feel if common shop practice (Inspecting the lower unit and testing their work) this would have been prevented. Yes?
Is this shop responsible for fixing my lower unit?
An example of the same situation: You take your car and a transmission to a shop, and ask that they install the transmission. You drive off and the transmission blows up because they didnt put any transmission fluid in it.
Time wasted, money wasted and distress being stranded on the water with no engine or cell phone.
