the date of delivery to the retail purchaser. This warranty
is transferred to each subsequent purchaser for the
duration of the warranty period.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for
diagnosis, parts and labor. All defective parts replaced

provided without charge to the owner. The use of
replacement parts not equivalent to the original parts may
impair the effectiveness of your engine's emission control
system. If such a replacement part is used in the repair or
maintenance of your engine, and an authorized Honda
Marine dealer determines it is defective or causes a failure
of a warranted part, your claim for your engine
