Dealer Letter #100B

TO: JOHNSON BOAT DEALERS

SUBJECT: Shipping Damage Claim.

Gentlemen:

We will be using two carriers to ship boats to you. One will be our own carrier, the other will be K.A.T. (Kenosha Auto Transport Company).

So that we may continue to improve our methods of shipping, it is extremely important that you inspect each boat for any shipping damage or items missing, and record any discrepancy on the bill of lading, for it shall be a policy that shipping damage claims will be handled in the following manner:

1. OMC Boat Deliveries - any item shipped as a result of shipping damage or item missing in shipment, shall be sent no charge to the dealer.
2. K.A.T. Boat Deliveries - any item shipped as a result of shipping damage or item missing in shipment, shall be billed to the dealer.
   1. Dealer shall make claim with K.A.T. for charges incurred. Contact the following when processing claims:

      Mr. Robert Gurney
      Kenosha Auto Transport Co.
      Kenosha, Wisconsin

Your cooperation and help in this matter shall be greatly appreciated. Don't forget to record discrepancy on bill of lading.
