WARRANTY INFORMATION
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, please notify Mercury Marine and Mercury 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.
WHAT MERCURY WILL DO: Mercury Marine's sole and exclusive
obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our expense and at our option,
repairing or replacing defective 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.
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 General Information ‑ Specifications), operation of the product
in a manner inconsistent with the recommended operation procedures,
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
Fuel and Oil), alteration or removal of parts, or water entering the engine
through the fuel intake, air intake or exhaust system. 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.
Expenses related to haul out, launch, towing, storage, telephone, rental,
inconvenience, slip fees, insurance coverage, loan payments, loss of time,
loss of income, or any other type of incidental or consequential damages
are not covered by this warranty. Also, expenses associated with the
removal and/or replacement of boat partitions or material caused by boat
design for access to the product are not covered by this warranty.
