Warranty Conditions, Limitations and Exclusions.
MasterCraft boats are manufactured by trained craft-
spersons from high-quality materials and compo-
nents. However, conditions outside MasterCraft’s
control require specific limitations on, and exclusions
from, coverage under this Limited Warranty. The Lim
-
ited Warranty on the Structural Components set forth
in Section 1 of this Manual does not cover or include
any other components fastened or applied to the hull
or deck. This Limited Warranty constitutes the final,
complete and exclusive statement of warranty terms,
and no other person or entity is authorized to make
any other warranties or representations on behalf of
MasterCraft. Furthermore, the Limited Warranty set
forth in Section 1 (including all subsections) hereof
does not cover the following:
(a) damage caused by misuse, negligence, acci-
dent; collision or impact with any object;
(b) damage caused by any improper alteration or
modification to the boat or any of its compo
-
nent parts or accessories, including damage
resulting from alteration, modification, repair
or replacement in such a way as to increase
the cubic-inch capacity or horsepower output
of the engine and boat as originally manufac-
tured;
(c) damage caused by the use of improper or con-
taminated fuel or fluids;
(d) damage caused by the use of customer-ap-
plied chemicals or accidental spills;
(e) damage caused by failure to maintain the boat
in accordance with the maintenance provisions
in the Owner’s Manual or improper mainte-
nance of the boat;
(f) damage resulting from the use of the boat for
any racing, speed, commercial competition or
performance demonstration;
(g) damage resulting from use of the boat for rent-
al, commercial or industrial purposes;
(h) damage to hardware and other components
fastened or adhered to the hull, deck or liner;
(i) damage caused by fire, theft, freezing, van
-
dalism, explosion, lightning, wind, hail storms,
flooding or other natural disaster;
(j) damage to any component parts and accesso
-
ries not manufactured by MasterCraft, includ-
ing but not limited to, the engine, drivetrain,
transmission, propeller, shift and throttle con-
trol levers and cables, pumps, blowers, wind-
shields, canvas, upholstery, tower and acces-
sories, instrumentation and steering systems;
however, such items may be warranted by the
individual manufacturer, and if possible, Mas-
terCraft will provide the owner with a copy of
the manufacturer’s warranty:
(k) damage caused by use of any non-MasterCraft
trailer;
(l) damage caused by improper support of the
boat on davits, hoist system or boat lift of any
kind;
(m) damage to paints, varnishes, gel coat sur-
faces and colors, chrome-plated or anodized
finishes, floor and floor covers and any other
surface coatings, as well as damage due to in-
water storage without proper barrier coat and
bottom paints (NOTE: Although MasterCraft
uses the highest-grade gel coat materials, a
condition may develop where the bottom of the
boat may show signs of discoloration and/or
blisters if the boat is left in the water for long
periods of time; therefore, a proper barrier coat
and bottom paint should be used whenever it is
anticipated that the boat will be left in the water
for an extended period of time);
(n) damage to the trailer and its parts or com-
ponents due to abrasions, rock chips, rust,
improper care of maintenance, or use in salt
or brackish water; however, the finishes of gal
-
vanized trailers, which are designed for use
in salt or brackish water, are warranted to be
free from damage resulting from use in salt or
brackish water for one (1) year from the date of
