Your boat dealer may also include information about other components
in the owner’s packet.
In sum, the materials in your owner’s packet provide operation, service,
specifications, maintenance, warranty, and other helpful information. It is
important to read and understand all of the material contained in your
owner’s packet prior to operating your boat.
Warranty Procedures
Please read the Manitou warranty coverage so that you know what is
covered under its terms. The full document is located in the last section
of this manual.
You are required to obtain warranty work through an authorized Manitou
dealer, preferably the dealer from which you purchased your Manitou.
The dealer is your first contact for warranty issues, and will be best
suited to respond to any issues that may arise with your pontoon boat.
Boat Identification
A permanent record of your boat is maintained by Manitou Pontoon
Boats. Tracked using your boat’s Hull Identification Number (HIN), this
record includes information on your boat’s equipment and accessories,
the name of the dealership from which you purchased it, and the date it
was shipped.
The HIN tag is attached to the riser on
the starboard side of the boat near the
stern. The HIN should also be listed
on your registration.
To ensure a quick response when you contact your dealer regarding
warranty or other work for your Manitou, please provide the HIN, the
model length, and the color of your boat. Not providing this information
may unnecessarily delay the claims process. For your future
convenience, we suggest that you note this information in the table
below.
