Mercury 75 Operation Maintenance Warranty Installation Manual page 21

WARRANTY INFORMATION
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 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.
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
General Information ‑ 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 Fuel and Oil), 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.
Nonwarranty 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 nonwarranty 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 nonexempted add‑on or modified part will not be covered.
