What to check before you buy a used Maxum Marine
- Run the HIN through USCG recall databases to confirm whether your specific hull falls under campaign 010178S, 020202T, 010122T, or 060050T.
- If the boat matches a recalled model and year range, request documentation proving the remedy was performed by an authorized dealer.
- Hire a marine surveyor to physically inspect bulkhead sealing and isolation on any Maxum cruiser built from 2001 to 2002, even if recall work was supposedly completed.
- For the 1800SR, test steering response at lock to lock and verify the 2006 steering recall remedy was applied.
Frequently asked questions
How many recalls has Maxum Marine had?
Maxum Marine has four USCG safety recalls spanning 2001 to 2006, covering steering defects and bulkhead sealing issues across deck boats and cruiser models.
Which Maxum models were recalled?
Recalled models include the 1800SR (steering, 2006), 2100SD deck boat (engine room bulkhead, 2001), 2955 SCR (isolation bulkhead, 2002), and 3000 SCR (isolation bulkhead, 2001).
What were the Maxum Marine isolation bulkhead recalls for?
Two campaigns (010178S and 020202T) addressed isolation bulkhead defects on the 3000 SCR and 2955 SCR cruisers, affecting 1,229 boats total. Faulty bulkheads compromise flotation and compartment integrity in the event of flooding.
Should I avoid buying a used Maxum boat because of these recalls?
Not necessarily, but verify recall remedy completion via HIN lookup and insist on a marine survey that inspects bulkhead sealing on any 2001 to 2002 cruiser. A remedied recall is not a dealbreaker, but unverified or incomplete remedy work is a safety risk.
