4-YEAR LIMITED CORROSION WARRANTY: SEACORE STERNDRIVE MODELS WITH GAS ENGINES

What Is Covered
Mercury Marine warrants that each new MerCruiser SeaCore engine, transom, and sterndrive package will
not be rendered inoperative as a direct result of corrosion for the period of time described below.
Duration of Coverage
This limited corrosion warranty provides coverage for four (4) years from either the date on which the
MerCruiser SeaCore engine, transom, and sterndrive package is first sold or the date on which it is first put
into service, whichever occurs first. 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 (noncommercial‑use) purchaser upon proper reregistration of
the product. Warranty coverage is terminated for used product obtained in any of the following ways:

Condition That Must Be Met in Order to Obtain Warranty Coverage
Warranty coverage is available only to retail customers that purchase from a dealer authorized by Mercury
Marine to distribute the product in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the pre‑delivery
inspection process specified by Mercury Marine is completed and documented. Warranty coverage becomes
available upon proper registration of the product by the authorized dealer. Corrosion‑prevention devices
specified in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual must be in use on the boat, and routine
maintenance outlined in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual must be performed according to
the maintenance schedule in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual (including without limitation
the replacement of sacrificial anodes, use of specified lubricants, and touch‑up of nicks and scratches) in
order to maintain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the right to make warranty coverage
contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
What Mercury Marine Will Do
Mercury's sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our option, repairing a corroded
part, replacing such part or parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured 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.
How to Obtain Warranty Coverage
The customer must provide Mercury Marine 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 Marine dealer authorized to service the product. If the purchaser cannot deliver the product to
such a dealer, written notice must be given to Mercury Marine. Mercury Marine will then arrange for the
inspection and any covered repair. The 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, the purchaser shall pay for all
related labor and material, and any other expenses associated with that service. The purchaser shall not,
unless requested by Mercury Marine, ship the product or parts of the product directly to Mercury Marine.
Proof of registered ownership must be presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is requested in
order to obtain coverage.
