WARRANTY INFORMATION
How to Obtain Warranty Coverage Under This Limited Warranty
The customer must provide Mercury Marine 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
Marine dealer authorized to service the product. A list of dealers and their
contact details is available at www.mercurymarine.com.au. If the purchaser
cannot deliver the product to such a dealer, written notice must be given to
Mercury Marine at the address shown above. Mercury Marine will then arrange
for the inspection and any covered repair. This Limited Warranty will not cover
the purchaser for all related transportation charges and travel time. If the
service provided is not covered by this limited warranty, the purchaser shall pay
for all related labor and material and any other expenses associated with that
service, provided that a consumer will not be obligated to pay where the service
has been carried out to remedy a failure of an acceptable quality guarantee
which is binding on Mercury Marine under the Australian Consumer Law. The
purchaser shall not, unless requested by Mercury Marine, ship the product or
parts of the product directly to Mercury Marine. Proof of registered ownership
must be presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is requested in
order to obtain coverage under this Limited Warranty.
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 the Operation and
Maintenance Manual), operation of the product in a manner inconsistent with
the recommended operation/duty cycle section of the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, neglect, accident, submersion, improper installation
(proper installation specifications and techniques are set forth in the installation
instructions for the product), improper service, use of an accessory or part not
manufactured or sold by us, jet pump impellers and liners, operation with fuels,
oils or lubricants that are not suitable for use with the product (see the
Operation and Maintenance Manual), alteration or removal of parts, water
entering the engine through the fuel intake, air intake or exhaust system, or
damage to the product from insufficient cooling water caused by blockage of
the cooling system by a foreign body, running the engine out of water,
mounting the engine too high on the transom, or running the boat with the
engine trimmed out too far. Use of the product for racing or other competitive
activity, or operating with a racing type lower unit, at any point, even by a prior
owner of the product, voids the warranty.
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 Limited 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.
