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.

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.
