Please note, for the UK orders above 1000€ longer processing will be needed, because the packages should be checked by the customs. Also for bait boat orders, processing might take some more time, because we are testing each boat before dispatch.

As soon as your package is packed and ready for shipment, we will send a pick-up request to the delivery service. As soon as your package has been taken over by the delivery service, you will receive a notification by e-mail with the tracking code.

Questions about Service
1. Do I have warranty on my purchase?
Yes, our products (bait boats, echo sounders) have 2 years warranty. More detailed information about warranty regulations can be found at the last page of our user manuals.
2. What should I do if I need warranty service on my bait boat?
First of all, please contact us on telephone, email or any other available method and describe the issue which you have with your purchased product. If possible, please attach the pictures and videos that can show the issue better. Our technician will check if it is possible to fix your problem immediately, and we will try to help you do it by yourself. In case the problem needs to be fixed by us in our service center, we will let you know all the further details individually. Normally, the product is shipped back to our service point and we repair it or change some parts, when necessary. In some countries, we have the local service points. In any case, it is very important that you contact us first.
3. What should I do if my boat has lost signal with the remote control?
In your user manual, there is a "trick" on how to localise the signal between the boat and the remote control again. Please see the steps once again here.
4. Do you repair the old bait boats?
Yes, if the boats are produced by our factory and have the same system installed. If your boat has one of the following brands: Waverunner, Anaconda, Carponizer, Skarp, Quad, Carpboat, Vegaboat, Cult Ranger, KINCARP, Bait Cruiser, etc. feel free to contact us and we will try to help you.
5. How can I install GPS Upgrade in my bait boat?
If your bait boat is of the same design as ours (so it was produced by the same factory), it is always possible to upgrade it with the GPS autopilot function. For this, please order the GPS Upgrade kit and select if you would like to have it installed by our technician or you can install it by yourself. For the old bait boats, we recommend to select the option of our service, because there is a high chance that other spare parts need to be changed as well, like some cables, switches or connectors. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us and we will help you.
6. Can I install one of your fish finders in my bait boat?
Yes, all bait boats produced by our factory have a pre-fabricated hole made for sonar, therefore installation of the fish finder is really easy. You will need to open the hull of your boat, attach the transducer to the bait boat hull and install the sonar in the hole, connect all the cables and the fish finder can be used.
We can also install the fish finder in your bait boat for free under the condition that the boat has the same design as ours and the fish finder was purchased from us. For this, please let us know about it when you purchase the fish finder and send your boat to our service point.
7. How long does the warranty service last?
It depends on our workload and the problem your bait boat has. Usually we try to finish all the service works within 1 week, however, sometimes more time might be necessary.
8. Can you install camera on my bait boat?
No, we do not provide any service which includes the products of other manufacturers than us. This refers also to fish finders from other manufacturers.
9. In which cases is my warranty valid?
Your warranty is valid on all new bait boats and fish finders purchased from us or our official distributors within 2 years from the purchase date. The warranty covers all technical failures, connected to electronics or basic functions of the product. The warranty is only valid if you report your issue directly to us or to one of our service partners.
The warranty is NOT valid if
- the product is second-hand or used for rental purposes
- the product has been repaired or modified by other parties
- 2 years after the purchase date have passed and the warranty was not extended by another year
The warranty does not cover certain cases which are related to the using habits of the customer, for example, broken antennas, lost remote controls, scratched or broken top and bottom hulls, etc.
More about the warranty conditions you will find in your user manuals.
10. Are my batteries covered by the warranty?
Yes, the warranty on lithium and lead acid batteries is valid for 6 months from the purchase date. This warranty cannot be prolonged.
Please read in detail how to correctly use and charge the batteries, so that they serve you longer.
If the batteries were not correctly stored or charged, we will not be able to provide you the new batteries under the warranty. In this case new batteries will need to be purchased at a discounted price.
11. What is your return policy?
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it for a refund or exchange within 14 days of receiving it. The item must be unused and in its original packaging.
