Will it void warranty?

From FAE
WILL FAE INTERFERE WITH MY BOAT WARRANTY?
There are thousands of FAE installed. We are not aware of anyone having a warranty issue with FAE. If your boat engine is under warranty you can have your boat dealer perform the FAE installation to eliminate any warranty questions.

I’m still on the fence. Had it on my last Supra but of course it was out of warranty. I guess if I order the factory fae that should not void anything. I’m sure removing the baffle they could use to void warranty on certain issues. Just don’t want to ruin a 7 year warranty.

Skip the baffle removal. Save the OEM flapper and install the FAE. If the engine fails swap back.

I doubt you will ever have to deal with this.

Posted on the Facebook Page and figured id post it here as well.
I'm a dealer for FAE so if you have any questions or would like to purchase one just send me a message.

Start off with removing the stock flapper and 4 screws that hold the through hull connection together.


Then undo the 2 clamps on the inside


Next takes some patience to get the through hole connection off. I used the debond I got with the install kit and a putty knife to help get it loose then used the shims and a mallet. Grabbed it with some pliers and moved it left, right, up, and down and hit the shims in more.

Just use a heat gun. It works great on 5200.

Hey guys,

Billy hooked me up and these instructions are great. I got all the holes drilled and ready to mount tomorrow.

I am curious of people attach the flexible hose after the mount is completed or as you are inserting the FAE and mounting it? Reason I ask is that it is pretty tight in there and the hose is pretty darn stiff.

Let me know guys!

As your mounting it as that hose is not very flexible.

With the FAE having that long of a moment arm and going down into the water behind the center plate, I’d think that would be a lot of force exerted on it. In particular those welds where the pipe connects to the through-hull flange. Any effect on the wave with the pipe sitting asymmetrically off the back of the boat?

Is this FAE in the same design as the factory? I thought the factory kept it closer to the hull (between the center and port plates).

2 Questions:

1. Do I need debond? I have read a lot of mixed reviews, and have read where goof off has worked.

2. I am planning on taking a saws all and cutting out my baffe vs buying a new one, is that doable or should i just buy a new one?

Thanks!!
