WARRANTY INFORMATION
California Air Resources Board Explanation of
Your California Emission Control Warranty
Statement
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS: The
California Air Resources Board is pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your 2012–2013 model
year outboard engine. In California, new outboard engines must
be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent
anti‑smog standards. Mercury Marine must warrant the emission
control system on your outboard engine for the periods of time
listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance of your outboard engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors, and other emission‑related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair
your outboard engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis,
parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: Select emission
control parts from model year 2001 and later outboard engines
are warranted for four (4) years, or for 250 hours of use,
whichever first occurs. However, warranty coverage based on
the hourly period is only permitted for outboard engines and
personal watercraft equipped with hour meters as defined in s
2441(a)(13) or their equivalent. If any emission‑related part on
your engine is defective under warranty, the part will be repaired
or replaced by Mercury Marine.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the outboard
engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in the Maintenance section.
Mercury Marine recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your outboard engine, but Mercury Marine
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
