Warranty and Warranty Registration Cards
The Scout Limited Warranty Statement is included
with your boat. It has been written to be clearly
stated and easily understood. If you have any
questions after reading the warranty, please con-
tact Scout Customer Service.
Scout, Yamaha Motor Corporation, engine manu-
facturers, and the suppliers of major components
maintain their own manufacturer’s warranty and
service facilities. It is important that you properly
complete the warranty registration cards included
with your boat and engine(s) and mail them back
to the manufacturers to register your ownership.
This should be done within 15 days of the date of
purchase and before the boat is put into service.
A form for recording this information is provided
at the beginning of this manual. This information
will be important for you and service personnel
to know, if and when you may need service or
technical information.
The boat warranty registration requires the H ull
I dentification N umber “HIN” which is located on
the starboard side of the transom, just below the
rubrail. The engine warranty registration requires
the engine serial number(s). Please refer to the
engine owner’s manual for the location of the se-
rial number(s).
IMPORTANT:
All boat manufacturers are required by the Federal
Boat Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time own -
ers in the event any defect is discovered “which
creates a substantial risk of personal injury to
the public.” It is essential that we have your
warranty registration card complete with
your name and mailing address in our files so
that we can comply with the law if it should
become necessary.
Product Changes
Scout is committed to the continuous improve-
ment of our boats. As a result, some of the equip-
ment described in this manual or pictured in the
catalog may change or no longer be available.
Scout reserves the right to change standard
equipment, optional equipment and specifi -
cations without notice or obligation. If you
have questions about the equipment on your
Scout, please contact Scout Customer Service.
Service
All warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized Scout Dealer. Should a problem de-
velop that is related to faulty workmanship or
materials, as stated in the Limited Warranty, you
should contact your Scout dealer to arrange for the
necessary repair. If you are not near your dealer
or another authorized Scout dealer or the dealer
fails to remedy the cause of the problem, then
contact the Scout Customer Service Department
within 15 days. It is the boat owner’s respon-
sibility to deliver the boat to the dealer for
warranty service.
Transferring The Warranty
For an administration fee of $100.00, Scout will
extend warranty coverage to subsequent owners
of Scout models for the duration of the original
warranty period. The Limited Warranty may be
transferred to any subsequent purchaser of the
vessel within seven years from the date of deliv-
ery to the original purchaser. Please refer to the
Limited Warranty Statement for the procedure to
transfer the warranty.
To take advantage of this program, notification
of the change of ownership, including the new
owner’s name, address and telephone number
together with the appropriate fee, must be sent
to Scout within 10 days of the date of resale.
Scout will confirm, in writing, that the transfer of
the warranty has taken place. After which, the
transferee will be treated as the original purchaser
as outlined in the Scout Boats Limited Warranty
Statement.
