    Low Unit Replacement/Rebuild

    I have Geico Marine Insurance and was wondering if they cover a mechanical failure such as a failed low unit.

    If so, is it worth having them cover it? This would be my first claim. I've had the insurance for a year and ahalf.

    It's a 2004 Mercury XR6.

    I think I have a claim because the seal broke I'm sure because of fishing line getting wrapped in the prop shaft. There was water mixed all in with the Low Unit oil.

    Any metal chips larger than usual come out of lower unit? If not then should be okay I would think.
