Dear Valued Customer,

We recognize the important needs of our valued customers to have quality products that we fully guarantee and are returnable in the case that they do not fit your needs.

Warranty Policy:

River Connection.com/The Boat Doctor will stand firmly behind all products sold on our website. If we can't guarantee products, we won't sell them. We believe that if we stand behind our products, provide excellent customer service, at great prices with fast shipping, you will continue to patronize us, and hopefully tell your friends and family about us! We guarantee all products sold and purchased on our website for one year to be replaced free of charge. Any defects in workmanship and materials found in our products will be replaced at no cost to you, with the same or similar product upon return to our processing center for inspection. Please send all warranties to the same address listed below, and mark the box and correspondence "Attn. Warranties".

All products in original package not used, purchased on our website can be returned for credit for the period of 30 days after purchase. Your return will be credited in full if returned within 30 days. If the item was shipped to you from our Oregon shipping center, you may place the item back in it's original packaging and mark it "return to sender", and can result in a free shipping return provided the package was never opened.

No RMA or authorization number is needed. Please include either a copy of original invoice, any email correspondence, or packing slip so we can faster process your return.
