Section 1 - Warranty
This limited warranty provides coverage for the components of the emissions control systems. Specific emission control related
parts on new inboard or sterndrive engines are warranted for 3 years or 480 hours, whichever first occurs, 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 are warranted up to their first required replacement interval only. Refer to
Emission Control System Components and 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. Refer to Transfer of Warranty.
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.
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, 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.
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.
