California Emissions Limited Warranty

The California Air Resources Board has promulgated air emissions
regulations for outboard engines. The regulations apply to all
outboard engines sold to retail consumers in California, and which
were manufactured for the 2001 model year, and later. Mercury
Marine, in compliance with those regulations, provides this limited
warranty for the emission control systems (see the components of
the emission control system listed following), and further warrants
that the outboard engine was designed, built and equipped to
conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the California
Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2,
Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code. For information
regarding the limited warranty for the non emissions related
components of the outboard, please see the limited warranty
statement for your outboard.
