Duration Of Coverage; How To Obtain Warranty Coverage - MerCruiser Axius 350 MAG User Manual

Section 1 - Warranty
NOTE: Your dealer will register your engine for warranty coverage for you. The warranty
registration process is not related in any way to the process of obtaining a license, title or
registration from state boating authorities. You should ask your dealer to update your
warranty registration information to reflect a change of address or a transfer of ownership.
(This change may be made at any time.) See the Warranty Registration section of your
manual or your dealer for more information.
Mercury Marine warrants the components of the emissions control systems (see the
components of the emission control system listed following) of its new, 2003 model year
and later California certified inboard and sterndrive engines, registered to a California
resident, to be free from defects in material or workmanship that cause the failure of a
warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in the
application of Mercury Marine for certification from the California Air Resources Board, for
the period of time, and under the conditions identified below. The cost to diagnose a
warranty failure is covered under the warranty (if the warranty claim is approved). Damage
to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part will also be repaired
under warranty.

Duration Of Coverage

NOTE: Mercury Marine does not establish model years for the Mercury MerCruiser product
line. In order to comply with CARB warranty regulations, and for that limited purpose only,
model year shall have the same meaning as calendar year. As an example, 2003 model
year products refers to products manufactured during calendar year 2003
This limited warranty provides coverage for the components of the emissions control
systems of new 2003‑2008 model year inboard and sterndrive engines for 2 years from
either the date the product is first sold, or first put into service, whichever occurs first.
Emission related normal maintenance items such as spark plugs and filters, that are on
the warranted parts list (see following) are warranted up to their first required replacement
interval only. (See Maintenance Schedule). The repair or replacement of parts, or the
performance of service under this warranty, does not extend the life of this warranty beyond
its original expiration date. Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred to a
subsequent purchaser. (See instructions on transfer of warranty). Warranty coverage is
terminated for used product repossessed from a retail customer, purchased at auction,
from a salvage yard, or from an insurance company that obtained the product as a result
of an insurance claim.

How To Obtain Warranty Coverage

The customer must provide Mercury with a reasonable opportunity to repair and reasonable
access to the product for warranty service. Warranty claims shall be made by delivering
the product for inspection to a Mercury dealer authorized to service the product. If
purchaser cannot deliver the product to such a dealer, please notify Mercury Marine and
Mercury will then arrange for the inspection and any covered repair. Purchaser in that case
shall pay for all related transportation charges and/or travel time. If the service provided is
not covered by this warranty, purchaser shall pay for all related labor and material, and any
other expenses associated with that service. Purchaser shall not, unless requested by
Mercury, ship the product or parts of the product directly to Mercury. Proof of registered
ownership must be presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is requested in
order to obtain coverage.
