I had one of my twin inboard 350 engines replaced last June with a "new" refurbished block. All of the peripheral stuff the engine needed were switched from the "old" engine.
Now, within one year of usage...the engine had a total catastrophic falure. The engine manufacturer "FIRST MATE" is totally washing their hands and they have classified it as "ABNORMAL COMBUSTION AND DETONATION".
Thus, its NOT covered under warranty.
Has anyone had a similar problem..how was it resolved. I feel totally frustrated by this incident..since I feel I had no control over what has happened.
Please help with any info what so ever....
Thanks in advance
