Owner Responsibility

The owner/operator is required to have routine engine maintenance performed to maintain emission levels within prescribed
certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emissions levels to exceed
their predetermined factory specifications.

Emission Certification Star Label

Your boat is labeled on the hull with one of the following star labels. The Symbol for Cleaner Marine Engines Means:
1. Cleaner Air and Water ‑ for a healthier lifestyle and environment.
2. Better Fuel Economy ‑ burns up to 30‑40 percent less gas and oil than conventional carbureted two‑stroke engines, saving
money and resources.
3. Longer Emission Warranty ‑ Protects consumer for worry free operation.
Beginning January 1, 2003, one Three‑Star label will be included with each factory‑certified Mercury MerCruiser engine.
All Mercury MerCruiser engines (500 hp and below) will have a Three‑Star Ultra Low Emission rating. The Three‑Star label
identifies that these engines meet the California Air Resources Board's Sterndrive and Inboard marine engine 2003 exhaust
emission standards. Engines meeting these standards have 65% lower emissions than One‑Star ‑ Low Emissions engines.
The Three‑Star label will be affixed on the left side of the hull as shown.
