Watch for the simple things as well. I was pleased with the dealer and the service guys in setting up my boat, a thorough water test. I thought everything was fine. I only realized the warning horn was not working when I started the motor when I got home. It alerts you to overheating, changing the lower unit fluid etc. I live 6 hours away from the dealer I purchased at. I figured it was an Suzuki problem and took it to a local Suzuki dealer. I explained the problem and when I came to get the boat was told it was a Starcraft issue not a Suzuki fault. They would not cover the problem-new horn and wiring. You can see where this is going, I was in the middle of a pissing contest between this dealer and the one I purchased from. I had to pay $175 and got no help from anyone.
Lesson learned check everything out and be sure it's right. Ask lots of questions.
