My factory installed keel guard wasn't installed correctly and started to peel off. My warranty claim was rejected because I didn't go to them first. I will list the reasons I didn't go through them. 1. The day I bought my boat (brand new), I was told that the drain plug doesn't work and has to be manually pushed in. 2. Within the first week my Skeeter installed side imaging wasn't working on one side of the boat; I brought it in and was told that the transducer was bad. I was then told to go to the local sporting goods store and get a new one to put on myself. After installing the new transducer the same issue was occurring. I told them the transducer was not in the correct spot and the signal was hitting my trim tabs. They charged me $90 to move it to the correct spot. 3. The Skeeter installed Thru Hull transducer quit working. Once again I was sent to the local sporting goods store. Turned out to be a software update issue- just another issue Skeeter did nothing to help and another reason I didn't go to Skeeter for the keel guard. 4. The Skeeter installed trolling motor broke. The trolling motor was warrantied by the manufacturer, but it broke because Skeeter didn't install a support arm to keep it from bouncing in the waves. The repairman asked who installed it because there were other parts missing as well. 5. Steering arm bent on the motor. Skeeter said I hit something with it and charged me $844 to fix it. I didn't hit anything and the way it was bent something in the steering broke and hydraulic pressure bent the steering arm. I believe it should've been warrantied. 6. The reason I am filing. The keel guard started peeling off. I looked up the manufacturer of the keel guard and their website has authorized installers/repairers. Skeeter isn't on there. Skeeter doesn't have anyone qualified to work on/repair the keel guard in the state on MN. Qualified installer says keel guard was incorrectly installed. Please see pics. ***** ******
