Is checkout secure?
Checkout, order confirmation, and receipt pages use encrypted HTTPS connections. We never ask for an online-banking login, debit-card PIN, one-time passcode, credit-card number, or CVV.
Do you accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or third-party financing?
No. We do not accept PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, cryptocurrency, personal checks, or third-party consumer financing.
Why do I have to accept the Terms of Sale and Shipping/Returns policy at checkout?
Outboard motors are high-value, freight-shipped goods. Before you can submit an order, the checkout form requires you to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the current Terms of Sale and Shipping/Returns Policy. We save the exact policy version and timestamp with your order for your protection and ours.
