Warranty issues

 

The little Suzuki outboard has done a good job of moving us and our gear back and forth to land for almost 3 years now.

Last week though, when I changed the oil I noticed that the lower cowling was cracked. It’s a one piece, plastic cowling and it apparently broke from vibration.

Whether it’s a bad design or over tightening of the bolts at the factory I don’t know but when I sent a picture to the dealer he emailed back that he would order one under warranty and it should be here in about a week. So, my 2.5 HP mighty mite lives on! The best part is that the labor for the replacement is also covered by the warrenty... Oh, and the warrenty runs out in two weeks. Found it just in time.
