What Is Lemon Law for Boats and Watercrafts?
California’s Lemon Law applies not only to cars but also to other motorized vehicles, including boats, yachts, jet skis, and other watercraft. If your watercraft has repeated defects that the manufacturer or dealer cannot repair after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to:
• A Replacement Watercraft: The manufacturer may be required to provide you with a new, comparable boat or watercraft.
• Full Refund: You may receive a refund of the purchase price, including financing costs and taxes.
• Compensation for Damages: In some cases, you may also recover costs related to repairs, rentals, or other inconveniences caused by the defective watercraft.
Common Issues Covered Under Lemon Law
Defects that could qualify your boat or watercraft for Lemon Law protection include:
- Persistent engine failure or malfunctions
- Electrical system failures
- Steering or propulsion problems
- Safety hazards or design flaws
- Structural defects, such as hull cracking or leaks
- Repeated breakdowns despite multiple repair attempts
To qualify, the issues must substantially impair the use, safety, or value of your watercraft.
