This is part of the “Sharrow Care Protection Plan,” another thing that sets Sharrow Marine apart from any other prop maker.  According to the company, if you accidentally run aground and damage a Sharrow prop, it will be repaired by a certified repair shop or replaced by Sharrow Marine.  Customers can even extend their Sharrow Care Protection Plan beyond the first year, for up to 5 years of protection.  Sharrow Reports Sharrow Website Sharrow Store FLIBS Debut Sea Ray SPX 210: An "Entry Level" Bowrider The new Sea Ray SPX 210 is the most affordable boat in the company’s line, and a good place for any new boater to start.  We will be testing her soon, but in the meantime take a quick tour with Capt.
