MarinePartsCo - Core Policy for Powerheads

Last updated: September 26, 2025

Core Credit & Evaluation Procedures

At MarinePartsCo, we want you to feel confident in how our Core Return Policy works. The core program is not required when purchasing a product—it simply provides an incentive for customers who wish to receive credit for returning the part that has failed.

Core returns are only valid on products where a core charge is listed. If there is no core charge, then a credit cannot be issued.

Core Return Policy

  • We provide a prepaid return label for all core returns within the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii).
  • A return label will be included with every product that requires a core deposit.
  • Package the core securely (using the original box if possible) and attach the return label.
  • UPS returns can be dropped off at any UPS location or handed directly to a UPS driver.
  • For freight shipments, call the toll-free number on the bill of lading to schedule pickup.
  • Please include a copy of your invoice with the returned unit.
  • Core deposit refunds are always returned to the original form of payment after inspection.

Determining Core Value

  • Each returned core is evaluated by our vendor to determine usability and value.
  • The condition of the parts directly affects the refund amount.
  • The core must match the type of product purchased to qualify for credit.
  • If certain key components are unusable, the refund will be adjusted accordingly.

Core Example: Gear Housing Assembly

A Gear Housing Assembly core evaluation includes three main components:

  • Housing — 60% of core value
  • Vertical drive shaft — 20% of core value
  • Horizontal propeller shaft — 20% of core value

If all three components are determined to be reusable, you will receive the full core credit.
