Ours does state replacement but they interpreted that to mean that 18 year
old instruments were not replaceable....

Again, I think it depends on your policy. The first guy I used to crew
with
had all of his instruments replaced free of charge by his insurer after a
lightning strike. You might consider looking at your policy and
considering
replacing it with an another that covers replacement. I sailed with a gal
on
"Quetzal" this past March that lost her boat in Isabel, she ddin't have an
agreed value policy, didn't collect enough money to replace the boat.

Not so, says a voice of experience....when we had out little problem,
the
adjustor said that they would only replace at the cost of 1986
instruments,
because that's what they were, and would not replace at the current
replacement cost. We were very PO'd (one of the reasons we've just now
finally got everything replaced).

Where's the pity? AFAIK, if your boat is damaged by lightning your
insurance
should cover it, a great way to upgrade your electronics without
spending
any of your own money.

The strikes in the marina, though very few, have all as far as I
recall been on protected boats.

Pity the ones alongside are affected by the discharge and also
suffer
some damage to electronics.

for new insurance.
