Boat rental companies know that customers who rent boats are prone to making mistakes on the water. It just comes with the territory.

Sometimes, those mistakes can mean thousands of dollars worth of damage to their fleet.

And, a damaged boat can’t be rented. That means lost revenue which REALLY hurts during peak season.

Outside of buying more insurance, is there anything boat rental companies can do to help protect their fleets?

You bet!

A New Solution for Boat Rental Companies

We recently heard from a marina and boat rental operation in Florida. They had seen a Motor Monkey on a boat in their marina and wondered if maybe it would help protect the engines on their boats from customer damage.

The owner bought just one. She told us she was skeptical, but would try it out.

 

 

Customer Parks Boat UNDER a Dock

The marina owner put Motor Monkey on a boat right away and rented that boat to a customer.

The customer made the mistake of parking the boat with loose dock lines at high tide, and the boat floated UNDER the dock during low tide, where it spent the night banging the engine up against the dock.

Normally this would have cost the rental company $1,500 to buy a one cowling, and taken that boat out of operation for at least two weeks.

Instead, this happened:

Motor Monkey damage at the dock

No damage to the engine!

Motor Monkey damaged after protecting engine

Motor Monkey just needs a little patch!

Motor Monkey did its job. And then some. Protecting the engine for an entire night as it was thrashed against the dock with every wave.

The engine didn’t have a scratch on it.

Our Motor Monkey only needed a little patch, and then was ready to go the next day.

I’ll Take 15 Please…

The owner called us the next day and placed an order for another 15 Motor Monkeys. She was sold.

Now she’s got Motor Monkeys sitting on all of her rentals, and she doesn’t have to worry about engine damage or boats being out of service when they could be out making money.
