What is Warranty?
First, let’s discuss what the purpose of a warranty is. Warranty is how boat manufacturers can guarantee that your boat is protected. Though we hope your boat remains in perfect condition from the moment you pick it up to whenever you decide to sell it, sometimes things go wrong.
Warranty protects your boat if you were to run into an issue caused by an error in production. It is very important to understand that warranty is determined on a case-by-case basis. Your dealership can help to determine whether your situation calls for a warranty claim or not.
For example, if you come into your boat lift a little too fast and damage the gel coat, those repairs will not be covered by a warranty program. If you’re ever unsure about whether your specific situation is covered by warranty, call your local Action Water Sports.
Cobalt’s Warranty
Now, for the part you’ve been waiting for…Cobalt’s warranty program. Cobalt has divided its warranty program into sections to make it easier to understand and to give each part of the boat a protective warranty. And, regardless of which model or series of Cobalt you have, the warranty applies.
The warranty program is divided into four sections that cover different parts of the boat. So, let’s dive into each section.
Ten Year Structural
To ensure that your Cobalt is water-ready for years to come, Cobalt will protect the structure of their boats for 10 years. The structural warranty refers to the hull/deck joints, bulkheads, floor, transom, stringers, and motor mounts.
Five-Year Bow-Stern Components
This portion of the warranty protects most of the boat away from the structure. It includes all manufactured or purchased components, all upholstery, and the canvas.
This part of the warranty will protect the technology on your boat as well as the furniture and other important components.
Three Year Gelcoat
Next is the three-year gelcoat warranty. This protects your gelcoat of the boat in case something unexpected and unavoidable was to happen to it.
One Year Limited Warranty on Inflatables
This part of the warranty only relates to the A29, R33 and R35. These boats can be optioned with the innovative splash and stow. The splash and stow inflatable is protected by Cobalt’s warranty program for one year.
The Engine
Now let’s get into the engine warranty. Since the motors are built by different brands, each manufacturer will have its own warranty. Cobalt boats can be equipped with a sterndrive motor, a surf sterndrive, or an outboard. There are numerous options to choose from.
Volvo Penta Sterndrive
The Volvo Penta sterndrive has a warranty of 2 + 3 Years protection program.
MerCruiser Sterndrive
MerCruiser protects their motor with a five-year power of protection warranty.
Volvo Penta Diesel
The Volvo Penta Diesel has a warranty of two years.
Mercury Outboard
For those with a Mercury Outboard motor, you can expect to have 3 years of warranty.
Yamaha Outboard
If your Cobalt is equipped with a Yamaha Outboard, you will find a warranty of 3 years.
How to Warranty Register Your Boat
To make it easy for boat owners to warranty register their boat, the dealership in which you bought the boat from will handle registering your boat with Cobalt. They will take note of your information and send it to Cobalt.
From there, Cobalt will be able to activate your warranty. This way if you ever run into a warranty issue, Cobalt can protect your boat. You’ll stay on the water and enjoy more time in the sun with Cobalt’s protective warranty program.
How to Transfer Your Warranty
The great part of Cobalt’s warranty program is that all parts of it (excluding engine) can be transferred. The remaining warranty can be transferred to the second owner if you were to sell the boat.
It can be easily accomplished by contacting your local Cobalt dealer to obtain a Transfer Form or download the form. From there, all you have to do is fill the form out and mail it to Cobalt Boats. From there, Cobalt will be able to register the new owner for the boat.
Fun Times on a Cobalt
Cobalt Boats ensures that your boat is protected so you can enjoy the summer worry-free. Get out on the water and spend time with friends and family on your Cobalt knowing that you’re covered.
If an issue does occur, call your local Action Water Sports and we’ll be here to help decide whether your situation warrants a warranty claim. In the meantime, enjoy time on the water on your premium bowrider.
