DURATION OF COVERAGE: This limited corrosion warranty provides coverage for three

(3) years from either the date the product is first sold, or the date on which the product is

first put into service, whichever occurs first. The repair or replacement of parts, or the

performance of service under this warranty does not extend the life of this warranty beyond

its original expiration date. Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred to subsequent

(non‑commercial use) purchaser upon proper re‑registration of the product.

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 pre‑delivery 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'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 re‑manufactured 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.
