We offer a standard 6-year warranty on all new outboard motors we supply, with the exception of motors used professionally (these motors have a 1-year warranty).
This 6-year warranty consists of the original 3- or 5-year manufacturer’s warranty (depending on the motor brand).
The remaining warranty, up to and including 6 years, is provided by Outboard Outlet.
We register all motors online for warranty with the manufacturer and it begins on the date of delivery, unless otherwise agreed.
For example, you can purchase a motor on special offer in December and pick it up or have it delivered in April. The warranty will then begin in April.
