Outboard Spares Pty Ltd Warranty Statement

Outboard Spares Pty Ltd (“Outboard Spares”) warrants that our products are manufactured free from defects in workmanship and materials (the “Warranty”). Outboard Spares offer a replacement warranty on all products. The Warranty is in effect for a period of 12 months from the original date of invoice on all Outboard Spares products. However, should the application of our products be used for commercial use (where an income producing activity is evident) the Warranty is limited to 6 months from the original date of invoice. The Warranty is subject to the below additional terms and conditions.

The Warranty shall be void if Outboard Spares, in its sole discretion, decides that the product submitted for warranty evaluation failed due to:

  6.      (iii).  Water entering the engine through the exhaust or carburettor;
  7.      (iv).  External factors; such as weed, sand, mud, shell, rock, plastic, etc.

Any claim under this Warranty shall be made in writing within the Warranty period and the part returned to Outboard Spares within the Warranty period. A claim number authorising the return for inspection must be obtained from Outboard Spares before the goods will be accepted.
