Limited Lifetime Structural Hull Warranty

The selling dealer will repair or replace any Structural Hull Defect, as defined below, which is caused by a defect in factory materials or workmanship, for as long as the original purchaser owns the Runabout. For purposes of this limited warranty: 1) The “Hull” shall mean the single fiberglass molded shell and integral structure within that shell, including stringers, floorboards and related structural reinforcements, all of which are below the hull flange; and 2) a “Structural Hull Defect” shall mean a substantial defect in the Runabout’s Hull which causes the boat to be unfit or unsafe for general use as a pleasure craft under normal operating conditions.

Limited Five-Year Structural Deck Warranty

The selling dealer will repair or replace any Structural Deck Defect, as defined below, which is caused by a defect in factory materials or workmanship, for five (5) years from the date of delivery of the boat. For purposes of this limited warranty: 1) The “Deck” shall mean the molded shell and integral fiberglass structural components above the hull flange (i.e. gunwale); and 2) a “Structural Deck Defect” shall mean a substantial defect in the boat’s Deck which causes the boat to be unfit or unsafe for general use as a pleasure craft under normal operating conditions.

Limited One-Year Parts and Components Warranty

The selling dealer will repair or replace any part or component found to be defective in factory materials or workmanship, which does not constitute a Structural Hull Defect, within one (1) year of the date of delivery of the Runabout. Bayliner’s obligation under this warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of parts that are found to be defective in factory materials or workmanship. In no event shall any repair or replacement under this limited warranty exceed the fair market value of the owner’s Runabout as of the date of the owner’s claim. THE REMEDY PROVIDED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL CONSTITUTE THE OWNER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

  11. Any representation or implication relating to speed, range, fuel consumption or estimated performance characteristics;
  12. Damage, shrinkage, or deterioration of carpet, upholstery and exterior canvas tops, enclosures, and weather covers (including rainwater leakage);

  6. Owners in the European Union (EU) may have legal rights under applicable national legislation governing the sale of consumer goods which are not affected by this express limited transferable warranty. If these laws apply to the owner of the runabout, then the boat may be returned to any authorized Bayliner dealer in the EU, at the owner’s expense. Information relating to authorized EU dealers may be obtained by contacting Bayliner at the number listed below.
  7. The terms and conditions contained herein, as well as those of any documents prepared in conjunction with the sale of the Bayliner runabout may not be modified, altered or waived by any action, inaction or representations, whether oral or in writing, except upon the expressed, written authority of a management level employee of Bayliner.

The Owner’s Obligations

Please submit the limited warranty registration card within 30 days of delivery of the Runabout in order to activate warranty coverage. All warranty work or repairs must be referred to the selling dealer for authorization as a condition precedent to limited warranty coverage. Bayliner must receive written notice of any remaining warranty claims from the owner prior to the expiration of the owner’s limited warranty, and the owner must allow Bayliner an opportunity to resolve the matter. The Owner must notify Bayliner of any boat being repaired by an authorized Bayliner dealer which has been at the dealership for fifteen (15) days, or of any claimed defect which was not corrected after one repair attempt.

Transferability

This limited warranty extends only to the first retail purchaser. Remaining coverages under the One-Year Parts and Components Limited Warranty and the Limited Five-Year Structural Deck Warranty may be transferred* by the first retail purchaser once to a second owner. The second owner must send a written request to Bayliner within thirty (30) days of the purchase of the boat, accompanied by payment of a transfer fee to Bayliner in the amount of $100. The Limited Lifetime Structural Hull Warranty is also transferable, but upon transfer, it will expire ten (10) years from the date of original purchase by the first retail purchaser, as reflected in Bayliner’s records. Bayliner reserves the right to reject any warranty transfer request for a Runabout that has been damaged, neglected, or otherwise previously excluded from warranty.

* This limited warranty will not transfer to any new owner of a boat which has been salvaged and resold, or resold after a declaration of a total loss or a constructive total loss, i.e. the cost of repair exceeds the value of the boat.
