Issues with my Gaffrig gauge.

[Ratickle]

If you think I have jumped the gun I'll delete the thread.

I'm super flexible, everyone gets busy, and I am super understanding... what got me is this is the last contact I got, which was from last Friday.



I didn't hear back at all, which is really not a big deal compared to the email... What kind of suggestions am I going to get? Just sounds to me like they aren't going to do anything. That's what got me going.

Just gonna give you my opinion.

Don't delete the thread, rename it to something like, Have you guys had trouble with Gaffrig. Then let all the members help. I notified them of the thread. Now, I'm a little prejudiced. The boats I've redone have their stuff. No problems for me.

One of the things we said before the site was started, give people a chance. If you were on the receiving end, we'd also try to help. Last Friday you got a message they'd get back to you on Monday and Monday you started this thread?

Stuff happens, we all know it, lets see what happens. Okay?

Said it before... it's not the problem that matters, its the resolution. the Japanese have a saying, learned it when I was studying japanes quality control (Deming)when I was managing a warehouse..


Fix the problem, not the blame.

looks like this problem will be resolved favorably. a plus for all parties involved.

Hopefully one of you can post the end result of this transaction and it can be resolved to all party's satisfaction. We look forward to hearing the outcome.

Welcome Mike.

Totally understand why you don't do this kind of thing on forums, usually. Thanks for posting in this instance, and hope that you stay around.

Have a great season too!

Thanks Mike, got your email and will call you Monday (working late tonight)... Thanks for your reply! I feel 1000% better just to hear back from someone with a positive response. That's all I really ask for

BTW: I have a bunch of Gaffrig stuff in my boat and it's all been great except this one gauge.

And thanks Stectz. I already owe you a couple drinks, gotta pick up a whole night's tab now

Last update was May 1st.

23 days later .... any updates ?

I have an interest in seeing how this matter was resolved, or if it was resolved.

How did it go?

I have dealt with Mike in the past and have worked with him in person. He is a good man to deal with. All of my problems were solved with a phone call.

I PM'd Vette At the end of May, and on the 28th he answered he'd been out of town the entire time and had not had a chance to contact Mike yet. But said he would as soon as he knew somthing.

I think he must have felt real comfortable that Mike had taken the time to answer.

Hopefully updates to follow.

You really shouldn't have to beg someone to make it right.

EXACTLY!
Even thou Autometer directions for my GPS speedo were horrible, they did have great customer service and resolved the situation. In the end that`s what matters. Now for sure Ill keep buying Autometer

 

[DAREDEVIL]

Nobody should have issues with GAFFRIG ,,Mike is a stand up guy as well as the company,,,just sometimes hard to get a hold of.
Also the statement from northernoffshore is absoluteley fals.
That was the time when Livorsi used the name gaffrig,,,the REAL Gaffrig's are water and fog proof,,altough it can happen during asembly that a gasket slips or breakes ,,,i guess that is what happend in this case.
I have been dealing with Gaffrig for a while now and he is also a sponsor for my race boat ,,never had any problems and he helped alot of my boating friends as well on pricing as on support.

Mike came on and straightened everything up. No one begged, it was just a few days of difference in when they would talk again.
