WARRANTY

Warranty Period:

Kasco® Marine, Inc. warrants this equipment to be free from defects in material or workmanship (except 

for the ropes, power cord, and propeller) under normal use and service. The Kasco Marine, Inc. obligation 

under this warranty is limited to replacing or repairing free of charge any defective part within the warranty 

period. The customer shall pay shipping charges for returning the unit to Kasco or an authorized repair 

center.  

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AND ANY OTHER 

OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY WHATEVER ON THE PART OF KASCO MARINE, INC. AND IN NO EVENT SHALL 

KASCO MARINE, INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  

Warranty is void if:  

•  The equipment is not maintained properly according to the maintenance recommendations 

supplied in this manual.  

•  The equipment is returned for repair without the power cord, or if the unit, control box, or power 

cord are altered in any way from the original shipment. Cuts in the power cord are not covered 

under warranty.  

•  The equipment is damaged by unauthorized tampering.  

• 

The sacrificial anode around the propeller shaft shows significant deterioration. (The anode must be 

inspected periodically and replaced as necessary.)  

Warranty Claim Procedure: 

The best method for establishing warranty period is via the original receipt. 

Also, register the unit online at: www.kascomarine.com. Once the warranty coverage has been established, 

the unit may be sent to any Kasco authorized repair center for evaluation and repair. Please call Kasco at 

715-262-4488 prior to shipping to receive any updated information or a repair form, or call to locate your 

nearest authorized repair center. You can also email Kasco at sales@kascomarine.com.  
Please include the repair form received from Kasco or your local distributor with the shipment. If no repair 

form is available, include your name and physical address for return delivery of the repaired unit and 

a daytime phone number and/or email address for correspondence regarding the warranty claim. Any 

expedited shipping method for the return of the unit is at the customer’s expense. For repairs covered 

under warranty, Kasco will cover the cost of returning the unit to the customer. The credit will be calculated 

based on the US Dollar exchange rate on the date of shipment.

Kasco only accepts complete assemblies for warranty repair. We must receive the power cord and 

all other components with the motor as originally assembled, without the float or mount. Kasco will 

bill the customer to replace any missing parts necessary for repair. It is not necessary to return the  

mount with the motor assembly, unless a Kasco representative specifically requests it.

Please attach a repair form with the shipment. The repair form must include a name, physical 

address (for return delivery of the repaired unit), daytime phone number, and an e-mail address 

for correspondence regarding the warranty claim.

Any expedited shipping method for the return of the unit is at the customer’s expense.
