Each Formula is protected by a combination of original manufacturers' warranties and supplemental
product protection, which provides comprehensive coverage for a minimum of five years from the boat's
original purchase date. In general, Formula and the boat's major component manufacturers (engines,
transmissions, generator) administer warranty for the first year of ownership. Thereafter, a supplemental
product protection plan – Formula Guard – takes over, providing extended coverage for many factory-
installed accessories and components, including the major components noted above. Following is a
general breakdown of warranty coverages:
