Anyone done a warranty transfer?

[okiepilgrim]

Has anyone transferred the warranty on a used purchase? If so, how much did the dealer charge for that?

We did one, hopefully I remember right, but I think you pay Tige $500, then you pay the dealer another $500 for the Indmar transfer, for the drivetrain. $1000 total.

Okay. I was told $2500 for the two, which I found to be a bit exorbitant. Waiting on individual pricing. I also noted that in the Indmar owners manual it says "The remainder of the engine warranty is transferrable to a second or subsequent owner."
Anyone seen an instance of a 3rd owner Indmar transfer?

Indmar warranty does not transfer to the 3rd owner. I believe it depends on the year of the boat. It should tell you the transfer fees in the owners manual. I thought it was $500-$600 for Tige, $500-$600 for Indmar, and then around $500 to the dealer to do the motor inspection that Indmar requires.

Guess I have lots of questions here. So what happens if the dealer finds something wrong during the "motor inspection"? I assume Indmar denies the transfer at that point? Do you pay the fees before or after that inspection? Also assume you're out the $500 either way.

Indmar really doesn't ask for much on the inspections. They want a few pics pf the engine, a diacom report, and a compression test.

What year/model boat are you talking about having a warranty transfer done on??

Be friends with your dealer(s). I've had two used boats that both had warranty work done with the warranty still in the PO's name. One of those required a lot of travel, but was totally worth it, not just for the warranty, but service I trusted.

It's for a 2018 RZ2, so there's not a lot left on the warranty anyway. I have a pretty good relationship with the dealer, but like most things in life, the situation is complicated.

You may be better off purchasing a 3rd party/aftermarket warranty rather than manufacturer(s) warranty. Just a thought. Especially if you can get longer coverage than current OEM warranty which I believe ends next year(there was zome years where Z series gor 7 year powertrain warranties as part of promotional boat show sales). I'd be getting all the details on when it would end for Tige and Imdmar before shelling out the $$ and weighing that against the previously mentioned warranty options.
