My boat had 100 gallons of fuel drained sometime between when I stored the boat (Boston area) and when they put it back in the water last week. Anyone else experienced something like this? What to do? The storage place of course denied this happened while under their eye, yet they had no suggestions for when this might have happened. (Perhaps the night after they put it in the water but before I got on it the next day?) I asked them if they recorded the amount of fuel (and hours on engines) when they got a boat for storage, and then when they launched it (possibly after any repairs etc) and they said no. Suggestions for anything I can do? Check your bilge? Sorry, I (and I assume many others) have been the victim of minor theft over the years; there really isn't anything to do about it. It might be different if your boat was in indoor storage, and you had a record of an end of season fillup, and you checked your fuel before launch. But if it was outdoors, in a yard accessible, anyone could have slipped a siphon into your tank. In fact, a boat below yours could siphon directly into his tank. If you were really convinced your yard was guilty, or negligent, you could reveal their name here. |
