OWNER’S / OPERATOR’S 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
understood. 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 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 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 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 improvement of our
boats. As a result, some of the equipment described in this

Scout reserves the right to change standard
equipment, optional equipment and specifications without

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 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
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 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 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 original purchaser as outlined in the Scout Boats Limited
Warranty Statement.
