WHAT IS COVERED
Mercury Marine warrant each new Mercury Outboard, Mariner Outboard, Jet
Products, Thruster Electric Trolling Motors, Mercruiser Inboard or Sterndrive
engine 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 two (2) years from the date of first retail
sale, or the accumulation of 500 hours of operation, 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 i f t h e 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 to one recreational use to a subsequent
recreational use customer upon proper re–registration of the product.
CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE MET IN ORDER T O OBTAIN
WARRANTY COVERAGE
Warranty coverage is availble 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.
Inaccurate warranty registration information regarding recreational use, or
subsequent change of use from recreational to commercial (unless properly
re–registered) may void the warranty at the sole discretion of Mercury Marine.
Routine maintenance outlined in the Operation and Maintenance Manual must be
timely performed in order to maintain warranty coverage. If this maintenance is
performed by the retail customer 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 re–manufactured parts, or refunding the purchase price of the
Mercury product. Mercury reserves the right to improve or modify products from
time to tome without assuming an obligation to modify products previously
manufactured.
HOW TO OBT AIN 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. The warranty
registration card is the only valid registration identification and 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
recommendedwide–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, 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

warranty regarding the product, other than those contained in this limited warranty,
and if made, shall not be enforceable against Mercury Marine.
