California Emissions Limited Warranty; What Is Covered - Mercury MerCruiser 5.7 MPI 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, visit

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.
