Item 4. Marine survey. What is the legal responsibly of a Marine surveyor
and the legal value of its report.
In an another word is the surveyor responsible to find all defects in a
boat.
If short after the surveying has been done hidden defects are found what are
the recourse. Can the surveyor states that he/she was only responsible for
what was visible at the time?
Does marine surveyor carry liability insurance if so what is the coverage.

Even the best surveyor will miss something sometimes, and none that I
know have x-ray vision. Most do the best they can, but there can be no
guarantee. There will be language to that effect in the survey itself,
but they still need insurance.
