Why is this so?

Hi Spelchek

Scottish
What is Hardneck Garlic?
Technically, it is allium sativum ophioscorodon. Unlike the softneck garlic grown commercially, especially in Spain and China, this garlic subspecies produces a hard, woody flower stalk. The flower (topset or umbel) often contains bulbils. Many varieties develop partial or full coils in the stalks (scapes). We have to remove the scape in order to increase the size of the harvested bulbs. The results vary from variety to variety. Many of the hardnecks, have very rich and distinctive flavors, including the much prized Rocamboles. Porcelain hardnecks are increasingly being grown in Canada and now in Scotland they have the advantage of having large even sized cloves with a longer storage life but still retaining the superior taste. Many chefs praise the various hardneck varieties for their true garlic flavour. The cloves are also relatively easy to peel

Back to the thread now...
I was reading the warranty bit on the Suzuki website and found this.

Now I'm a bit on the dumb side but reading the bits I have highlighted (by making bold and red), does it seem that as long as you tell the authorised agent you want the motor for Australia it's covered by Suzuki warranty??

I wonder what the exclusions are??
I suppose I'd have to buy one to find out what the fine print is.

I could be wrong however i thought i did read on here some time back that with some brands you would get warranty on the provision it was installed by a dealer.

Happy to be corrected.

You will probably find most dealers wont touch you. If you didn't buy it from them good luck getting them to install it.

After having imported my boat, mearly mentioning the fact its "imported" im very surprised at the hostility. Been to a few trailer places lately and every single one of em had their backs up. Can understand some annoyance, but I was a tad surprised.


Im sure if a major boat yard in Brissy imported a heap of outboards from the states privatly, and whacked 20% on em(still be 30% cheap than anywhere else) and advertised em as limited warranty people would still snap em up.

Who here would buy a brand new 140hp suzuki with no warranty for 10 grand? I would

Mercury will honour warranty problems if you import your own from USA as long as it is pre -delivered by one of their dealers , either here or in USA.

Prices in USA look better that they actually are because when you buy an engine there its just that, engine only, no prop no controls . Add to that GST ( no import duty on USA made goods , we have free trade agreement ) freight on the top of that , then the exchange rate . At pressent its 0.927 so most people will get around the 0.91 still very good but what about when the rate was 0.65???
I'm not in any way trying to defend local retailers here , I'm just pointing the facts and with current exchange rate I woudn't buy anything here .

Cheers WRX,i knew i had seen it on here in past just for the life of me could not remember which brand.
