Warranty & Professional Installation

Why proper installation matters for your engine warranty and long-term reliability.

Professional Installation Required for Warranty

All crate engines, remanufactured engines, and transmissions sold by Marine Engine Service carry a 12-24 month warranty — but coverage is contingent on professional installation by a qualified marine technician.

⚠️ Important: Installation by unqualified persons, DIY enthusiasts, or uncertified mechanics voids all warranty coverage. This includes damage caused by improper alignment, incorrect torque specs, inadequate cooling, or faulty electrical connections.

What qualifies as "professional installation"?

  • Performed by a certified marine technician or authorized dealer
  • Shaft alignment checked with dial indicator (within 0.003" TIR)
  • All fluids filled to manufacturer specification
  • Cooling system bled and verified for flow
  • Electrical connections properly crimped, sealed, and grounded
  • Proper break-in procedure followed and documented
  • Installation receipt retained for warranty claims

When you choose Marine Engine Service for installation, you receive a complete installation certificate that satisfies all warranty requirements and protects your investment.
