Hello SBT,
I will be ordering a new engine in the spring (2008). Based on my reading, it appears as though many of us in the "Northern" part of North America purchase our engines in the spring, so the "warranty clock" does not start ticking. I am aware their are hardcore riders whom ride in sub-freezing temps., but would venture that this group is quite a minority. I would be very interested in purchasing an SBT engine in January, and having a leasurely 4 months installing/tweaking the engine before said craft/engine hits the water. However my warranty clock starts ticking when shipped from SBT. I do not want to start the warranty clock when I will not be starting the craft for 4+ months. Is there a way to electronically/mechanically monitor a new engine installation and start the warranty clock when the engine is actually installed/running? Not wishing to infringe on SBT trade secrets, but I would venture that their largest sales volume months would be April-May as all of us whom come out of the deep freeze and hibernation ready ourselves for the season. The advantage to SBT would be a more even sales volume distribution across the year, and evening out the really busy times (June - August??).
Wishing I could order an SBT engine in January(without starting the warranty),
Tippy
