Finance FAQ
The questions our customers ask most often about buying an outboard motor on finance.
Does Morisset Outboard Services provide finance directly?
No. We are not a credit provider and we do not lend money. We can connect eligible customers with third-party finance providers. The finance relationship is between you and the lender — we are not a party to the loan agreement.
Can I get pre-approved before choosing a motor?
In many cases, yes. Many lenders allow you to apply for pre-approval before you finalise your purchase, giving you a clearer picture of your budget. Contact us and we’ll point you to the relevant lender so you can start the process.
What interest rate will I receive?
We cannot tell you what rate you will receive — that is determined entirely by the lender based on your credit history, income, loan term and other factors. We recommend getting quotes from multiple lenders and comparing comparison rates before committing.
Do I need a deposit?
It depends on the lender and your application. Some lenders will finance 100% of the purchase price for eligible customers, while others may require a deposit of 10–20%. This is confirmed as part of the lender’s assessment process.
Can I finance a motor if I am self-employed or have an ABN?
Yes, there are options available to self-employed individuals and ABN holders including personal loans and business asset finance. Lender requirements for self-employed applicants may differ — you may be asked to provide BAS statements, tax returns or bank statements to verify income.
Does applying for finance affect my credit score?
In most cases, a formal application triggers a credit enquiry recorded on your credit file which may temporarily affect your score. Some lenders offer soft-check pre-qualifications that do not affect your score — ask the lender before proceeding.
Can I pay out my finance early?
Early repayment terms vary by lender. Some allow early payout with no penalty while others charge an early termination fee. Ask the lender about this before you sign, and review the loan contract carefully for early payout clauses.
Is the motor’s warranty affected if I use finance?
No. Your outboard comes with the manufacturer’s standard Australian warranty regardless of how you pay. Finance is a separate arrangement between you and the lender. Your warranty entitlements are the same whether you pay in full or use finance.
