A service contract, not a policy.

Boat Shield is an extended marine service contract offered through NBOA's Warranty Center. It's designed to cover the unexpected repair costs that come with today's increasingly complex marine products — the steep, out-of-pocket bills that drive potential and existing boat owners away from the category.

Marine insurance covers accidents, theft, and storm damage. Boat Shield covers mechanical breakdowns: a blown head gasket, a failed trim pump, a shot lower unit. Two different products — most owners of out-of-warranty boats carry both.

Comprehensive engine + accessory protection.

Boat Shield plans are built around propulsion first and tailored to the equipment on your specific boat type — runabout, pontoon, ski boat, cruiser, and beyond. Key program benefits:

• Covers expert service from any manufacturer-authorized facility nationwide
• Long-term engine and accessory coverage, with major mechanical engine parts covered and entire assemblies replaced if necessary
• Comprehensive engine package protection and major accessory protection throughout the vessel
• Plans tailored to the equipment of your boat type
• Available with or without engine protection, depending on remaining factory coverage
• Up to 10 years total of transferable New Boat Coverage
• Up to 5 years Pre-Owned Engine and Accessory Coverage

Who qualifies.

• Recreational vessels up to 15 years old at time of application
• Inboard, sterndrive, outboard, jet, and POD-driven vessels
• Available in 49 states — California is excluded
• Plans offered with or without engine coverage, depending on remaining factory warranty

Marine repair bills aren't like car repair bills.

Parts are lower-volume, service rates are higher, and most jobs include haul-out and splash fees on top of labor. A failed outboard, a worn lower unit, or a generator that won't fire can turn a weekend on the water into a four- or five-figure repair with very little warning.

That's the math owners are running when they call the Warranty Center. A single covered claim on a major propulsion component typically exceeds the full cost of the contract — and the contract keeps paying out across its term.

The flow, step by step.

• Boat breaks down — you haul to a manufacturer-authorized marine shop
• Shop diagnoses the failure and calls the Warranty Center at (800) 991-9007
• Warranty Center authorizes the repair on covered components
• Shop performs the repair; Boat Shield pays the shop directly
• You handle your deductible plus any non-covered items (wear parts, fluids, cosmetic)

Questions or changes to a quote are handled by NBOA's Warranty Sales Representatives — friendly, knowledgeable, and available 24/7. Claims aren't routed to a distant third-party administrator.

Fast, with flexible payment.

NBOA offers a variety of payment installment options so the contract premium doesn't have to land as a single up-front expense.
