Keep Your Original Purchase Receipt of Motor
For recreational use customers, MotorGuide Freshwater, Thruster and PTSv Series electric trolling motors are warranted to the original retail¹ purchaser to be free from defects in material and/or workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase. This Limited Warranty begins on the date the product is first sold to a retail purchaser, or the date on which the product is first put into service, whichever occurs first. Commercial² users of these products receive coverage for one (1) year from the date of first retail sale. MotorGuide Accessories are covered by this Limited Warranty for a coverage period of one (1) year from the date of retail sale.
This warranty does not cover product damage due to abuse, i.e. bent columns, bent armature shafts, broken control cables, etc., accidents, modifications, misuse, excessive wear or damage caused by an owner's failure to provide reasonable and necessary installation or care. Opening the lower unit (motor) by anyone other than an authorized service center will void this warranty. To obtain warranty service, the purchaser should deliver or return the unit (postage prepaid and insured) to any MotorGuide Authorized Service Center. Products returned by mail should also be carefully packaged and include a note describing the nature of the problem and/or service requested. A copy of the proof of purchase or registration verification is required with the return of the product for warranty consideration. MotorGuide, at its discretion, will repair or replace items covered under the terms of this warranty. Neither MotorGuide nor MotorGuide Service Centers are responsible for damages to MotorGuide products due to repairs performed by anyone other than an authorized MotorGuide Service Center.
The product registration must be processed by MotorGuide within ten (10) days from the date of purchase to validate your warranty. MotorGuide products requiring service not covered under the terms of this warranty may be repaired or replaced for a reasonable fee. ALL INCIDENTAL AND\OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS WARRANTY INSERT. IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE LIFE OF THIS WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH MAY VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
