IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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 under-
stood. If you have any questions after reading the warranty,
please contact Scout Customer Service.
Scout, Yamaha Motor Corporation, engine manufacturers, 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 informa-
tion is provided at the beginning of this manual. This infor-
mation will be important for you and service personnel to
know, if and when you may need service or technical infor-
mation.
The boat warranty registration requires the H ull I dentifica-
tion 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 serial
number(s).
IMPORTANT:
All boat manufacturers are required by the Federal Boat Safety
Act of 1971 to notify first time owners 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 war-
ranty registration card complete with your name and mail-
ing 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 improvement of our
boats. As a result, some of the equipment described in this
manual or pictured in the catalog may change or no longer be
available.
Scout reserves the right to change standard equip-
ment, optional equipment and specifications 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 develop that is related to faulty
workmanship or materials, as stated in the Limited Warranty,
you should contact your Scout dealer to arrange for the nec-
essary repair. If you are not near your dealer or another au-
thorized Scout dealer or the dealer fails to remedy the cause
of the problem, then contact the Scout Customer Service De-
partment within 15 days.
It is the boat owner's responsibility
to deliver the boat to the dealer for warranty service.
Transferring The Warranty
For an administration fee of $100, Scout will extend warranty
coverage to subsequent owners of Scout models for the dura-
tion 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 delivery 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 origi-
nal purchaser as outlined in the Scout Boats Limited War-
ranty Statement.
