Boat OEMs Use Product Warranty Insurance to Offer Longer Limited Warranties During Special Events or Promotions.

For a single, one-time cost, an OEM can extend their limited warranty and retain the original term, transfer the risk for the extended term to a carrier, and eliminate Balance Sheet Exposure.
