    A simple, six-step path from your quote request to active marine protection coverage.

      Once approved and finalized, your protection plan is activated so you can boat with greater confidence.

    Why It Matters

    Why Boat Owners Choose Extended Marine Protection

    Modern boats are expensive to repair. Engines, electronics, generators, air conditioning systems, hydraulics, steering, and onboard systems can create unexpected repair bills that reach thousands — or tens of thousands — of dollars.

    Extended marine protection helps owners reduce the financial impact of covered mechanical and electrical failures.

    Avoid Major Repair Surprises

    Protection helps reduce the risk of facing large repair bills without a plan.

    Keep More Control Over Ownership Costs

    Coverage allows many owners to plan ahead instead of reacting to sudden failures.

    Protect Resale Confidence

    Transferable plans may help future buyers feel more confident about the vessel.

    Real-World Repair Costs

    Repairs Can Add Up Fast

    A single major component failure can cost more than years of protection coverage.

    Outboard Replacement

    Typical Cost
    $18,000 – $45,000+

    Twin Outboard Repower

    Typical Cost
    $60,000 – $90,000+

    Marine Generator Repair or Replacement

    Typical Cost
    $8,000 – $20,000+
    Typical Cost
    $3,000 – $10,000+

    Typical Cost
    $4,000 – $8,000+

    Lower-Unit or Gearcase Repair

    Typical Cost

    These are the types of financial surprises marine protection is designed to help reduce.

    A simple option for owners who want to activate coverage immediately and avoid monthly payments.

    0% Financing Options

    Some eligible plans may offer payment options that help spread the cost of protection over time.

    Claims

    How Claims Usually Work

    1. 1

      A covered failure occurs

      An eligible mechanical or electrical failure happens on a covered system.

    2. 2

      Diagnosis at a licensed marine repair facility

      A licensed marine repair facility diagnoses the issue and documents the cause and required repair.

    3. 3

      Claim review for approval

      The claim is reviewed against your coverage to determine approval and authorize the repair.

    4. 4

      Approved repairs paid to the facility

      Approved repairs may be paid directly to the repair facility, simplifying the process for the owner.

    This process helps simplify major repairs by giving owners a clearer path from diagnosis to covered repair authorization.

    Confidence

    Boat With More Confidence

    Marine protection is not about expecting something to go wrong. It is about being prepared if it does.

    Whether you own a center console, cruiser, sport boat, yacht, or used boat with high-value engines and onboard systems, coverage can help protect your ownership experience.

    • Know your options before failure happens
    • Reduce exposure to unexpected repair costs
    • Understand your coverage before you need it
    • Protect your investment with a clear plan
