Welcome to the club--Left the engine hatch up one time and pulled the boat out---damage's-garage door bent up, engine cover bent up so bad that when I did put it down it curled up about 6" in the front.
Really wish you werent part of this club-no glory in it. hope you can get it all fixed back up.

I am going to see about ordering just the panel. Luckily I felt something wasn't right and I stopped. So the locker door is munched up but I think I can save the hardware off it and the cover. Just need the panel itself. The garage door repair was $450. Only had to replace the bottom panel of the garage door and get a bunch of new bogey wheels -- everything else straightened out OK.

Dont feel to bad Kane same thing happened to me a couple month ago. I was working in the boat and left the engine bay cover open. Didnt do my second trip around double checking it all.
Jumped in the truck and idled out with the boat. Herd a huge crash and looked back only to see my garage door hanging down almost inside the boat.
I had punched a hole in the engine cover material and bent the door slightly. The garage door sprung and poped out of track and un raveled the cables on both sides.
I got the boat out, was able to fix the garage door myself.
Now i have a small tear the size of your thumb and going to get it fixed for 100 from the upholstery guy AWS uses.

Wow here I felt like a complete moron when the same thing happened to me. Apparently it is more common then I thought.

I seem to have different people helping every time out and twin boys who are 10 that are getting more useful. I'm tired of doing everything myself every time. But, the tradeoff is that I have to be twice as vigilant. Hard to do some weekend mornings.

It's in there. That's the good part. Word of advice: Be careful getting it out!

I use 4 of these:

They work like a charm!! Makes getting the boat in the garage a snap, maybe 5 minutes. They support the weight just fine and are very easy to use. They are not cheap, but one months of rent and you own them. I like having my boat at home rather than somewhere else. Hope this helps.
