California Emissions Limited Warranty; What Is Covered; Duration Of Coverage - Mercury MerCruiser Axius 350 MAG User Manual

Section 1 - Warranty
Mercury MerCruiser products installed by a Mercury Installation Quality Certified Manufacturer are Installation Quality certified
products and may receive an additional one (1) year of limited warranty coverage.
The Installation Quality Certification program was developed to recognize MerCruiser boatbuilder customers who have achieved
higher manufacturing standards. It is the first and only comprehensive manufacturer‑installation certification program in the
industry.
The program has three goals:
1. To enhance overall product quality.
2. To improve the boat ownership experience.
3. To enhance overall customer satisfaction.
The certification process is designed to review all facets of manufacturing and engine installation. The program is composed of
design, manufacturing and installation review stages with which builders must comply. Certification applies leading‑edge
methodologies to create:
• Efficiencies and best practices specific to engine installation.
• World‑class assembly and component specifications.
• Efficient installation processes.
• Industry standard end‑of‑line test procedures
Boat builders that successfully complete the program and meet all certification requirements earn Installation Quality System
Certified Manufacturer status and receive an additional one (1) year of Mercury limited factory warranty coverage on all
MerCruiser‑powered boats that are registered on and after the boat builder's certification date for all worldwide registrations.
Mercury has designated a section of our Website to promote the Installation Quality Certification Program and communicate its
benefits to consumers. For a current list of MerCruiser‑powered boat brands that have earned Installation Quality Certification,

California Emissions Limited Warranty

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.
The California Air Resources Board has promulgated air emissions regulations for inboard and sterndrive engines. The regulations
apply to all inboard and sterndrive engines that were manufactured for the 2003 model year and later. Mercury Marine, in
compliance with those regulations, provides this limited warranty for the emission control systems (see the components of the
emission control system listed following), and further warrants that the inboard or sterndrive engine was designed, built, and
equipped to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in
Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code. For information regarding the limited warranty for the
non‑emissions related components of the inboard or sterndrive engine, please see the limited warranty statement for your engine.

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.
