Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair your inboard or sterndrive engine at no cost to you; including
diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage

Select emission control parts from 2009 and later (inboard or sterndrive) engines are warranted for 3 years or 480 hours,
whichever first occurs. However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted for engines that are equipped
with hour meters as defined in s 2441(a)(13) or their equivalent. If any emission‑related part on your engine is defective under
warranty, the part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities

As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. Mercury Marine recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your inboard or sterndrive
engine, but Mercury Marine cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you should however be aware that Mercury Marine may deny you warranty
coverage if your inboard or sterndrive engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your inboard or sterndrive engine to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized to service the
product as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30
days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, refer to Owner Service Assistance for contact
information.
