Evening Gents!
Well to cut a long story short my battery for my electric outbaord tipped over in the boot of my car and acid leaked out and went all over my tackle.
So far my drogue, barbour jacket, net , life jacket and boat box strap are no longer useable.
Checked the small print on my insurance and it says you cant claim for clothing on accidental damage!
I dont think the insurance company will class all of the above as tackle 
Anyone know any way around this or have any ideas what i should do 
Iam scratching my head but not got any great ideas yet, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Baz

Do not pre-empt them knocking back your claim , just bang the claim in and see what the response is.

Do you not have house contents insurance? My fishing tackle is covered under that under "Sporting goods". I am pretty sure you can claim for clothing as well under house contents as you are allowed a certain amount for things like "personnel items" etc.

I would try going down that route.

Good luck

A few years ago I got graphite grease all over my Greys Jacket and trousers from an outboard motor. Claimed on house insurance and they paid up, no questions, full price. Dave B.
