Fourstroke Outboard Limited Warranty United States, Canada And Europe - Mercury 80 Owner's Manual

4. In some countries, the Marine Power Service Center will issue you a permanent (plastic) Warranty
Registration Card within 30 days after receiving the Factory Copy of the Warranty Registration Card from
your distributor/dealer. If you receive a plastic Warranty Registration Card, you may discard the
Purchaser's Copy that you received from the distributor/dealer when you purchased the product. Ask
your distributor/dealer if this plastic card program applies to you.
IMPORTANT: Registration lists must be maintained by the factory and dealer in some countries by law. It is
our desire to have ALL products registered at the factory should it ever be necessary to contact you. Make sure
your dealer/distributor fills out the warranty registration card immediately and sends the factory copy to the
Marine Power International Service Center for your area.
5. For further information concerning the Warranty Registration Card and its relationship to Warranty Claim
processing, refer to the International Warranty.

WHAT IS COVERED: Mercury Marine warrants its new products to be free of defects in material and
workmanship during the period described below.
DURATION OF COVERAGE: This Limited Warranty provides coverage for two (2) years from the date the
product is first sold to a recreational use retail purchaser, or the date on which the product is first put into service,
whichever occurs first. Commercial users of these products receive warranty coverage of one (1) year from the
date of first retail sale, or one (1) year from the date in which the product was first put into service, whichever
occurs first. Commercial use is defined as any work or employment related use of the product, or any use of the
product which generates income, for any part of the warranty period, even if the product is only occasionally
used for such purposes. The repair or replacement of parts, or the performance of service under this warranty,
does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date. Unexpired warranty coverage can
be transferred from one recreational use customer to a subsequent recreational use customer upon proper re–
registration of the product. Unexpired warrant coverage cannot be transferred either to or from a commercial
use customer.
CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE MET IN ORDER TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE: Warranty coverage is
available only to retail customers that purchase from a Dealer authorized by Mercury Marine to distribute the
product in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the Mercury Marine specified pre–delivery
inspection process is completed and documented. Warranty coverage becomes available upon proper
registration of the product by the authorized dealer. Routine maintenance outlined in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual must be timely performed in order to maintain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves
the right to make future warranty coverage contingent on proof of proper maintenance.
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
remanufactured 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.
