We understand certain situations may arise where an order or parts off an order may need to be canceled. Maurer Marine works extremely hard to fill orders in the shortest amount of time possible. Therefore, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible by sending an email to info@maurermarine.com or calling us at (949) 645-7673. All orders canceled may be subject to a 20% restocking fee based on the specific parts ordered. This fee is based on 20% of the merchandise value. We will work hard to accommodate all customer needs, however, if the order has already entered the shipping process then it will be subject to these fees.
Q.Why is there a restocking fee?
A. There are two reasons for these fees: The shipping fee we encounter due to returning the unwanted part to the manufacturer and the cost of the restocking fee the manufacturer charges us. Maurer Marine does absorb the shipping cost but we pass a portion of the restocking fee that the manufacturer charges us to you the customer.
Q.Will I be charged the restocking fee if I am changing the part to the correct one?
A.You will not be charged a restocking fee for replacing the part or parts with the correct items needed, however, there are some exceptions (lower units, powerheads, gear cases, power trim units, top cowlings, etc). Once the order enters the shipping process the order is subject to restocking fees.
Market Changes
Prices are subject to change due to manufacturer or interchanged part numbers in the event that this happens we will contact you prior to shipping. Over sized boxes (i.e. lower units) will cost slightly more to ship. Prices subject to change without notice, in the event of a price increase/decrease we will contact you prior to finalizing your order. Large or heavy items (ie. power heads) will be sent freight as UPS has limitations. Please allow extra time for package delivery around weekends and holidays.

We have no control over a manufacturer’s decision to supersede a part.
