Update on GME Epirb problem and SUPERB service from GME
      #1852395 - 09/05/2008 07:29

I posted recently re a potential problem with our MT 400 GME Epirb. there appears to be small cracks appearing in the casing - one deep enough to catch the finger nail. - all are around 1 inch below the casing screws.
I was contacted by GME (Australia) today with a kind offer of a new MT 403 shipped immediately to our boat in Spain free of charge. They are obviously concerned and want the old beacon back to examine - they are arranging getting it shipped to Aus.
The beacon is 3 years old now and obviously out of warranty.

Truly excellent customer service and rapid response.. well done GME.

Yes,
Obviously I contacted them by email with pics at the same time I posted here.

Terrific. It gives you a warm sort of wobbly feeling when companies resond rapidly and couteously with a solution.

Again.. well done GME.

Yay for Australia

Question though: Did you leave it exposed to the Spanish sun for three years?
