Mercury 75 Operation Maintenance Warranty Installation Manual page 16

WARRANTY INFORMATION
WHAT MERCURY 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 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, written notice must be
given to Mercury. We 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. Proof of registered
ownership must be presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is
requested in order to obtain coverage.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED: This limited warranty does not cover electrical
system corrosion; corrosion resulting from damage, corrosion which causes
purely cosmetic damage, abuse, or improper service; corrosion to accessories,
instruments, steering systems; corrosion to factory installed jet drive unit;
damage due to marine growth; product sold with less than a one year limited
Product warranty; replacement parts (parts purchased by customer); products
used in a commercial application. Commercial use is defined as any work or
employment related use of the product, or any use of the product which
generates income, for any part of the warranty period, even if the product is
only occasionally used for such purposes.
Corrosion damage caused by stray electrical currents (onshore power
connections, nearby boats, submerged metal) is not covered by this corrosion
warranty and should be protected against by the use of a corrosion protection
system, such as the Mercury Precision Parts or Quicksilver MerCathode
system and/or Galvanic Isolator. Corrosion damage caused by improper
application of copper base antifouling paints is also not covered by this limited
warranty. If antifouling protection is required, Tri‑Butyl‑Tin‑Adipate (TBTA) base
antifouling paints are recommended on Outboard and MerCruiser boating
applications. In areas where TBTA base paints are prohibited by law, copper
base paints can be used on the hull and transom. Do not apply paint to the
outboard or MerCruiser product. In addition, care must be taken to avoid an
electrical interconnection between the warranted product and the paint. For
MerCruiser product, an unpainted gap of at least 38 mm (1.5 in.) should be left
around the transom assembly. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual
for additional details.
