Star Label - Mercury MerCruiser Product Applications Manual

Important Information
The owner is not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or
allow emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.

Star Label

Beginning January 1, 2003, one Three‑Star label will be included with each factory‑certified
Mercury MerCruiser engine.
All Mercury MerCruiser engines (500 hp and below) will have a Three‑Star Ultra Low
Emission rating. The Three‑Star label identifies that these engines meet the California Air
Resources Board's Sterndrive and Inboard marine engine 2003 exhaust emission
standards. Engines meeting these standards have 65% lower emissions than One‑Star ‑
Low Emissions engines.
The Three‑Star label will be affixed on the left side of the hull as shown.
