Just spotted Brice's response. With my alternator bracket broken, alternator twisted, a bolt sheared holding one of the brackets, I was unable to run the engine. Before this could be done the alternator had to be removed, the driving belt removed etc.. I still say that anything bolted on the engine is part of the "motive power" AND YES, I would expect the AA to come to my rescue in similar circumstances! Compliments of the Season to all, ~Allan~

Before RCR gave me the contact I had tried to interest a couple of yards in looking at why water was dripping off the cali but got replies like 'too busy to look - come back in a few months'. With RCRs help I had a bloke on the spot and sorting this - non RCR problem - in a few hours. > > > Bruce in Sanity <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Allan Cazaly wrote: > > Well, here's one boater who is not satisfied with RCR! > > > > They declined to come to my assistance when my Large Alternator (200 > > amp x 24 volt) failed. > > They stated that this was not part of the engine, but the domestic > > system, which is NOT covered by them. > > Now, I would suggest that the 2 alternators are very much fixed and > > bolted to the engine and consist of part of the engine. > > > > Needless to say, I have nothing to do with them any more! > > > > But Allan, they are a breakdown service, to get your boat going again > when it can't move under its own steam. > > You wouldn't expect the AA to come out to your car because the radio > didn't work, would you? > > -- > Cheers > > Bruce > > www.nbsanity.net > http://nbsanity.blogspot.com > 07884 003581 > > Living In Sanity (it's a no-mad existence) > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Never miss a thing.
