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.
What Mercury Will Do
Mercury Marine's sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our expense and at our option, repairing or
replacing defective parts with new or Mercury Marine certified re‑manufactured parts, or refunding the purchase price of the
Mercury product. Mercury reserves the right to improve or modify products from time to time without assuming an obligation to
modify products previously manufactured.
What Is Not Covered
This limited warranty does not cover routine maintenance items, tune ups, adjustments, normal wear and tear, damage caused
by abuse, abnormal use, use of a propeller or gear ratio that does not allow the engine to run in its recommended wide‑open‑throttle
RPM range (see Specifications), operation of the product in a manner inconsistent with the recommended operation procedures,
neglect, accident, submersion, improper installation (proper installation specifications and techniques are set forth in the
installation instructions for the product), improper service, use of an accessory or part not manufactured or sold by us, jet pump
impellers and liners, operation with fuels, oils or lubricants which are not suitable for use with the product (see Specifications),
alteration or removal of parts, or water entering the engine through the fuel intake, air intake or exhaust system. Use of the product
for racing or other competitive activity, or operating with a racing type lower unit, at any point, even by a prior owner of the product,
voids the warranty.
Expenses related to haul‑out, launch, towing, storage, telephone, rental, inconvenience, slip fees, insurance coverage, loan
payments, loss of time, loss of income, or any other type of incidental or consequential damages are not covered by this warranty.
Also, expenses associated with the removal and/or replacement of boat partitions or material caused by boat design for access
to the product are not covered by this warranty.
Non‑warranty maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine
engine repair establishment or individual. The use of non‑Mercury parts for non‑warranty maintenance or repairs will not be
grounds for disallowing other warranty work. The use of add‑on (as defined at section 1900 (b)(1) and (b)(10) of Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations) or modified parts not exempted by the California Air Resources Board may be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim, at the discretion of Mercury Marine. Failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non‑exempted
add‑on or modified part will not be covered.
