I had a simalr problem with a pontoon and sent it back to Outcast for repair no charge!
UPS then lost the shipment on its way back from Outcast and when I contactad Outcast they came thru for me BIG TIME!
These guys are a first class company!
In present times people and companies like this are few and far between and if anyone is even considering a pontoon or belly boat I can't say enough about them.
PS the problem I had was not a manufacture defect but something I did myself and they still came thru big time! First Class!
