Warranty Coverage And Exclusions - Mercury 200 Operation And Maintenance Manual

Corrosion damage caused by stray electrical currents (on‑shore power connections, nearby boats, submerged
metal) is not covered by this corrosion warranty and should be protected against by the use of a corrosion protection
system, such as the Mercury Precision Parts or Quicksilver MerCathode system and/or Galvanic Isolator. Corrosion
damage caused by improper application of copper base anti‑fouling paints is also not covered by this limited
warranty. If anti‑fouling protection is required, Tri‑Butyl‑Tin‑Adipate (TBTA) base anti‑fouling paints are
recommended on Outboard and MerCruiser boating applications. In areas where TBTA base paints are prohibited
by law, copper base paints can be used on the hull and transom. Do not apply paint to the outboard or MerCruiser
product. In addition, care must be taken to avoid an electrical interconnection between the warranted product and
the paint. For MerCruiser product, an unpainted gap of at least 38 mm (1.5 in.) should be left around the transom
assembly. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional details.
For additional information regarding events and circumstances covered by this warranty, and those that are not,
