Sea Eagle Warranty

 

All Sea Eagle products come standard with a 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects  The warranty begins the date that 

your product is delivered.  Sea Eagle must inspect equipment in order to determine if there is a  defect. In the event that an item 

must be shipped back to us, Sea Eagle will only reimburse the standard return shipping charge through FedEx, UPS, or U.S.P.S. at 

published shipping rates. Fees charged by retail shipping  outlets, like The UPS Store, will not be reimbursed and you are  

responsible for handling and packing charges.  

 

Sea Eagle will refuse delivery on packages without a valid return authorization number and will not be  responsible for shipping or 

handling charges.  To obtain a return authorization number, please contact Sea Eagle directly, unless you purchased from an  

authorized dealer/reseller in which case contact them for more  information.

 

 

Warranty does not cover damage from use, neglect, or abuse such as but not limited to abrasions, punctures and tears. 

 

If you receive a damaged item, please call the shipping carrier to report the issue.  Do not return damaged  merchandise until it has 

been inspected by the carrier.  Sea Eagle will be notified by the carrier when they have completed their inspection and if  

necessary, Sea Eagle will arrange for the repair or replacement of damaged merchandise.  

 

See complete warranty details at SeaEagle.com/Warranty.  

 

Decals, Stickers & Registration

Always contact your state boating authorities for information on boating registration and regulations.  Most states require you to 

register your boat if you are using a motor.

  

*The Sea Eagle FSK16 is rated for use with up to a 6 hp motor.  

 

Upon registration it may be required to provide the Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin. Purchases made through an authorized 

dealer or reseller may require for you to contact them directly in order to obtain this. You may be charged your own state sales tax 

if you were not charged sales tax at the time of purchase. 

 

Registered boats generally require for the registration number to be applied to the boat. We do not recommend the use of decals 

or stickers as they tend to crack and peel over time with the repeated inflation and deflation of your Sea Eagle. Instead we suggest 

applying these numbers to a small piece of hard plastic or marine plywood and hanging it from your boat like a license plate if 

permitted by your state. Another method is to apply the numbers to the hull using either PVC based paint or permanent marker.
