I'm not sure. I use progressive. Would the insurance co call sea to. If so how do you get insurance co on phone 30 miles off shore? I darn sure wouldn't want to drift all night

Mine is through USAA but is a Progressive policy. Apparently I get a hold of whatever towing service I want (I assume through VHF or other means) and pay the bill up front. You then submit the bill and they pay it. I almost had to use it yesterday when the wire from my coil to the distributor decided to come apart on me. Luckily the guy at sherman cove came out and got me.

Call up progressive and see what they say. Won't know till ya try

Thanks. I will check it out. Any idea what a tow from the edge to navy point would run? Thanks for your advise

I have used Sea Tow for about 12 years and have needed a tow 4 times. In all 4 situations I got reasonably prompt tows and the captains were very professional each time. The annual price seems reasonable for the service I've gotten, and the peace of mind it gives me. The one tow I got from Seatow before I subscribed was about 4 miles out of Perdido Pass and the bill was about $400.

The typical charge for non-members is $250 per hour from the time the tow vessel leaves "their" port to the time they return to "their" port. That could be one hell of an initial out of pocket expense if you're offshore. $1 a month is awesome compared to the unlimited gold package I chose, but 20 miles out in slick calm seas took 3.5 hrs under tow. The whole ordeal was around 5 hrs. 5hrs x $250 = WOW!!!
