Worth knowing
Bootswerft Ernst Riss; cover, cost and conditions
Yard-built motor cruisers often stay in the same family for decades. What results is a boat with many individual solutions: retrofitted electrics, a rebuilt galley, an engine other than the one fitted at the yard. Conversions are no problem for the insurance; they simply need to be reported so that value and cover match.
On these boats the electrical system is the main fire risk, usually at wiring that has grown over the years without proper fusing. Fire is covered under limited hull cover, and it can be prevented with an orderly distribution panel, a main fuse and a battery isolator switch that is actually used.
