What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Riverpro
- Request the HIN and cross reference it against USCG recall 05R0692S to confirm whether your specific boat was included in the 56 affected units.
- If the boat was part of the campaign, require documentation proving the ventilation system was inspected and remedied per the manufacturer's corrective action.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect the fuel system ventilation during pre purchase survey, regardless of recall status, as proper ventilation is a core safety system on any gasoline powered boat.
- Check bilge blower operation and confirm all fuel compartments vent overboard, not into enclosed spaces.
