WestMarine Warranty To get or not get? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The West Marine extended warranty is definitely worth it, especially for things like fish finders that do not last very long anyway.

One thing to keep in mind, this warranty is not based on the item but on the price you paid. I bought a fish finder that was on close-out. When It died, I was given a credit of the amount paid toward any other item.

They probably would have swapped for a like item but by the time I exercised the warranty, my model was no longer available. I got a great deal on the first one but had to kick in a few more bucks to get a replacement.

No knock on them. It is just the way the program works.
