Boats can come with a lot of bells and whistles, both literally and figuratively. While <\/span>marine insurance<\/span><\/a> is a great way to protect you and your boat from financial stress, <\/span>extended marine warranty packages<\/span><\/a> will give you even more reason to carry yourself with a care-free attitude while sailing, fishing, wakeboarding, and enjoying the water with friends and family. Although marine insurance will protect you from legal headaches and financial disaster, a marine warranty will ensure that your boat, including its bells and whistles, gets repaired or replaced without steep out-of-pocket costs. To get a clearer picture of marine warranty, the experts at NBOA, <\/span>National Boat Owners Association<\/span><\/a>, are here to answer all of your important questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Warranty?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before diving into all the wonderful things a warranty can do for you, let\u2019s define what a warranty is. According to the <\/span>Oxford English dictionary<\/span><\/a>, a warranty is \u201ca written agreement in which a company selling something promises to repair or replace it if there is a problem within a particular period of time.\u201d Having someone on your side to provide reliable maintenance at little to no cost will ensure a good boat with dependable equipment and machinery and a worry-free boating experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Get a Warranty?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many times when you buy something of extensive value, like the new iPhone or a car, the manufacturer or seller will offer a warranty on the product. This is called a manufacturer warranty, and they vary in coverage and length of time from manufacturer to manufacturer. If the manufacturer\u2019s warranty on your boat has expired, companies like NBOA provide options for an extended warranty. Simply fill out an <\/span>application to receive a quote<\/span><\/a> within 48 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is Getting a Warranty a Good Idea?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cruising amongst the waves, weather fishing, water skiing, or enjoying the ride should bring nothing but peace of mind. Frequently, boat owners abandon their passion for sailing or fishing due to the expensive risks involved. However, if you have a warranty, then finding peace of mind is as easy as sailing through the water. Instead of being hit with unexpected and often excessive expenses from breakdowns or damaged products, an extended marine warranty will cover these out-of-pocket costs for repairs or replacements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does a Warranty Cover?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Depending on your specific marine warranty package, you can experience a myriad of benefits, from cruising coverage to outboard engine coverage and accessory coverage to navigation coverage. At NBOA, you can take advantage of POD drive system coverage, inboard, stern drive, jet drive engine coverage, generator coverage, runabout coverage, and trailer coverage.
