Warranty Policies as
Defined by the Manufacturers for 2005
All manufactures provide a warranty for the
equipment they sell. The warranty coverage varies.
Some
manufactures provide "on - site" service for their high end products.
This would cover reasonable travel time by a factory authorized service
technician, and most on board trouble shooting and repair.
Most
equipment warranties are "carry in", this means you remove it and
carry it in to a service center, or you ship it at your expense to the
manufacturer. If you insist on a factory-trained technician coming to your
vessel to perform warranty work, you will be responsible for paying whatever
time the manufacturer does not cover.
Most
manufactures do not pay freight in or out for a warranty repair. Some will pay
the freight back to you (but not all of them). Most will only ship ground
freight. If you want air freight, you can usually request it at an additional
cost.
Listed
below are the coverages you can expect from the various manufactures. These
policies are the latest information available and may not apply to equipment
built prior to 1998. While we have done our best to insure the accuracy of
these policies, we can not be held responsible for out dated or incorrect
information.
