WARRANTY INFORMATION
WHAT IS COVERED: Mercury Marine warrants the components
of the emissions control systems (see the components listed in
the Emission Control System Components) of its new, 2001
model year and later outboards, sold by a California dealer to
retail customers residing in California, 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: This limited warranty provides
coverage for the components of the emissions control systems of
new, 2001 model year and later outboards, sold to retail
customers in California for four (4) years from either the date the
product is first sold, or first put into service, whichever occurs
first, or the accumulation of 250 hours of engine operation (as
determined by the engine's hour meter, if any). Emission‑related
normal maintenance items such as spark plugs and filters, that
are on the warranted parts list, are warranted up to their first
required replacement interval only. Refer to Emission Control
System Components and 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.)
