WARRANTY INFORMATION
WHAT MERCURY WILL DO: Mercury's sole and exclusive obligation
under this warranty is limited to, at our option, repairing a defective 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 routine
maintenance items, tune ups, adjustments, normal wear and tear, damage
caused by abuse, abnormal use, use of a propeller or gear ratio that does
not allow the engine to run in its recommended wide open throttle RPM
range (see the Operation and Maintenance Manual), operation of the
product in a manner inconsistent with the recommended operation/duty
cycle section of the Operation and Maintenance Manual, neglect, accident,
submersion, improper installation (proper installation specifications and
techniques are set forth in the installation instructions for the product),
improper service, use of an accessory or part not manufactured or sold by
us, jet pump impellers and liners, operation with fuels, oils or lubricants
which are not suitable for use with the product (see the Operation and
Maintenance Manual), alteration or removal of parts, water entering the
engine through the fuel intake, air intake or exhaust system, or damage to
the product from insufficient cooling water caused by blockage of the
cooling system by a foreign body, running the engine out of water, mounting
the engine too high on the transom, or running the boat with the engine
trimmed out too far. Use of the product for racing or other competitive
activity, or operating with a racing type lower unit, at any point, even by a
prior owner of the product, voids the warranty.
