As I tried to point out above you the end user are not buying from or having any dealings with CAT Corporation. You deal with their Dealers who are the only people CAT recognise as their customers, you are a customer of the dealer not CAT themselves.

They will refer you to your dealer to answer all these questions. If as Golden Fox says it states in the Marine Warranty Description and he has been told by his distributor that failure to follow rating or installation instructions/definitions can have a negative affect on any warranty I would be inclined to believe that especially when coupled with my extensive experiences battling with CAT Dealers mis representation of product, performance and reliability issues and the CAT Corps sloping shoulders when it comes to accepting responsibility for a lot of what their dealers say and or do.
