This year, you’ve likely picked up on the Personal Watercraft Industry Association’s awesome Safe Rider Pledge, encouraging everyone who is planning on hitting the water to always remember a lifevest. As much as the PWIA wants to encourage you to wear your vest each time you hit the water, all of us at The Watercraft Journal want to impress upon you the importance of purchasing and maintaining current personal watercraft insurance. Not only are you protecting your valued property, but the personal safety and well-being of yourself and those riding with you.

Offering service contracts providing additional protection over the manufacturer’s warranty – lasting up to 84 months – the McGraw Powersports Group is one of the nation’s largest providers of motorcycle and personal watercraft service contracts. With over 40 years of experience under their belt, McGraw Powersports provides coverage against damage to your PWC’s engine, jet pump, electric, instrumentation, and seals and even gasket failure.

Under McGraw’s Personal Watercraft Package – includes jet boats under sixteen 16-feet, jet skis, wet bikes, etc. – you’ll have $15,000 in liability coverage against theft, fire, collision, hull damage, sinking, damage to another watercraft and injury to another person. Of course, McGraw can increase your liability coverage from $25,000 to $300,000, upping liability-only coverage, medical payments and trailer coverage.

Oh, one more thing: these service contracts are only available through your powersports dealerships. So stop by your favorite dealer’s F&I office tand ask if they partner with McGraw Powersports. Making life even all that more easier, McGraw Powersports is re-designing its website to include a Dealership Locator – so it will be easier than ever to find a dealer offering this great coverage. Look for the new website later this year.

For you seasoned riders, you’ll know that McGraw has been around the PWC industry for decades, even as far back as being a presenting sponsor of the 1994 Bud National Tour! Below is a throwback video from 2009 with some familiar faces.
