Just a few months after buying our 25 ft Mariah, we were anchored in Robert's Cove, and were unable to get the boat started. Reader's Digest version: coil crapped out. Mercury covered the part and labor.

I did have TowboatUS as a result of an earlier breakdown with my old boat, not a covered breakdown, and the resulting $380 tow. I now look at this coverage on inland lakes with TowboatUS as being additional insurance for less than $100 per year.

Sorry, Sully, I do not look at warranties to cover towing, whether it be for my boat or my cars. JMHO.

Glad you did get your motor fixed.
