Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Partners With Sea Tow
Extended Service Program Now Includes Towing Coverage

(Charleston, South Carolina) -- Experienced mariners plan for the unexpected. That’s why extended coverage service programs are so desirable. Cummins MerCruiser Diesel and Sea Tow have partnered to offer the most comprehensive towing service in the industry.

Typically most extended service programs offer no towing payment, or at best, a minimal payment that will not cover the total expense. This new plan, packaged with the Quantum Encompass Recreational Extended Service, will automatically enroll the boat owner in a one-year membership with Sea Tow that provides full towing coverage. In the event the boat owner is already a Sea Tow member, the plan picks up the cost of a one-year renewal.

Sea Tow, the international leader in the marine assistance industry, is a boater’s road service at sea. With more than 100 locations around the world, the company responds to non-life threatening calls for assistance ranging from fuel delivery to ungroundings.

Based in Charleston, South Carolina (USA), Cummins MerCruiser Diesel is responsible for designing, manufacturing and providing reliable after-sales support worldwide for marine products. It offers a broad range of power, with available ratings from 120-670HP for recreational applications and 77-588HP for commercial use. Cummins MerCruiser Diesel is a joint venture between Cummins, Inc. and Mercury Marine and can be found on the Internet at www.cmdmarine.com.
