Please note that Maxum's Warranty is very simply put for 12 months on items in the boat. Maxum has in the past extended the owners warranty for an extra month by filling out questionnaires in the beginning of the Warranty cycle and by again filling out a questionnaire at the end of the Warranty cycle, effectively making it a 14 month Warranty.
Cummins:
The Cummins Warranty to US Marine, (Maxum) is different than their Warranty to the industry as a whole, its better. Thank You both from your Maxum Owners.

Volvo Penta:
Greater security for owners
All new Volvo Penta inboard diesel engines with outputs of between 300 and 770 hp are covered by a two-year warranty up to a maximum of 1000 running hours. The warranty, which is free and valid worldwide, is conditional only on the engine being serviced in accordance with the instructions handbook and when carried out by authorized Volvo Penta service personnel.
Extended to pleasure craft only
The two-year warranty applies to engines installed in craft used by their owners for private recreational purposes only. That excludes boats used for charter, for carrying of paying guests or for any other commercial activities. Volvo Penta has special warranties to cover those situations.
The warranty stays with the engine
The warranty is transferable. So even if the boat changes ownership within the two-year period, the warranty still remains valid. That is as long as the service book has been completed correctly and the new owner is informed of the terms of the warranty.
Worldwide protection
The new Two-year engine warranty applies wherever in the world Volvo Penta is represented. In the rare event that warranty work need to be carried out, skilled service and assistance is available from any of the Volvo Penta's network of 5000 dealers in more that 100 countries.
Service dependent
To minimize the risk of stoppages or breakdowns at sea, it is important that the engine is regularly maintained according to the recommended service schedule. Full individual service requirements are supplied with each engine. The maintenance of correct service procedures together with the exclusive use of Genuine Volvo Penta Parts are also essential requirements in maintaining the two-year warranty commitment.
