Duration Of Coverage - MerCruiser 3.0 MPI Owner's Manual

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.

Duration Of Coverage

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
This limited warranty provides coverage for the components of the emissions control
systems. Select emission control parts from model year 2003‑2005 (inboard or sterndrive)
engines are warranted for 2 years from either the date the product is first sold, or first put
into service, whichever occurs first. Select emission control parts from 2006‑2007 (inboard
or sterndrive) engines are warranted for 2 years from either the date the product is first
sold, or first put into service, whichever occurs first. Select emission control parts from 2008
(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. Select emission control parts from 2009 and later (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 (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.
