WARRANTY INFORMATION
CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE MET IN ORDER TO OBTAIN WARRANTY
COVERAGE: Warranty coverage is available only to retail customers that
purchase from a Dealer authorized by Mercury Marine to distribute the product
in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the Mercury
Marine specified predelivery inspection process is completed and documented.
Warranty coverage becomes available upon proper registration of the product
by the authorized dealer. Corrosion prevention devices specified in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual must be in use on the boat, and routine
maintenance outlined in the Operation and Maintenance Manual must be timely
performed (including, without limitation, the replacement of sacrificial anodes,
use of specified lubricants, and touch‑up of nicks and scratches) in order to
maintain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the right to make
warranty coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
WHAT MERCURY WILL DO: Mercury Marine'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 Marine
product. Mercury Marine 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 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. If the purchaser cannot deliver the product to such a
dealer, written notice must be given to Mercury Marine. Mercury Marine will
then arrange for the inspection and any covered repair. The purchaser, in that
case, shall pay for all related transportation charges and travel time. If the
service provided is not covered by this warranty, the purchaser shall pay for all
related labor and material, and any other expenses associated with that
service. 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.
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.
