Warranty Registration—Outside the United States and Canada

1. It is important that your selling dealer fills out the warranty registration card completely and mails it to the distributor or
Marine Power Service Center responsible for administering the warranty registration and claim program for your area.

2. The warranty registration card identifies your name and address, product model and serial numbers, date of sale, type of
use and the selling distributor's and dealer's code number, name and address. The distributor or dealer also certifies that
you are the original purchaser and user of the product.

3. A copy of the warranty registration card, designated as the purchaser's copy, must be given to you immediately after the
card has been completely filled out by the selling distributor or dealer. This card represents your factory registration
identification, and should be retained by you for future use when required. Should you ever require warranty service on this
product, your dealer may ask you for the warranty registration card to verify date of purchase and to use the information on
the card to prepare the warranty claim forms.

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 or dealer. If you receive a
plastic warranty registration card, you may discard the purchaser's copy that you received from the distributor or dealer
when you purchased the product. Ask your distributor or dealer if this plastic card program applies to you.

5. For further information concerning the warranty registration card and its relationship to Warranty Claim processing, refer to
the International Warranty. See Table of Contents.

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 Mercury Marine distributor or
Mercury Marine authorized dealer fills out the warranty registration card immediately and sends the factory copy to the Marine
Power International Service Center for your area.

Transfer of Warranty

The limited warranty is transferable to a subsequent purchaser, but only for the remainder of the unused portion of the limited
warranty. This will not apply to products used for commercial applications.

To transfer the warranty to the subsequent owner, send or fax a copy of the Bill of Sale or Purchase Agreement, new owner’s
name, address, and engine serial number to Mercury Marine’s Warranty Registration Department. In the United States and
Canada, mail to:

Mercury Marine

W6250 W. Pioneer Road
P.O. Box 1939
Fond du Lac, WI 54936-1939
920-929-5054
Fax [phone]

Upon processing the transfer of warranty, Mercury Marine will send registration verification to the new owner of the product by
mail.

There is no charge for this service.

Mercury Installation Quality Certification Program

15502

Mercury MerCruiser products installed by a Mercury Installation Quality Certified Manufacturer are Installation Quality Certified
products and may receive an additional one (1) year of limited warranty coverage.

The Installation Quality Certification program was developed to recognize MerCruiser boatbuilder customers who have
achieved higher manufacturing standards. It is the first and only comprehensive manufacturer‑installation certification program
in the industry.

The program has three goals:

1. To enhance overall product quality.

2. To improve the boat ownership experience.

3. To enhance overall customer satisfaction.
The certification process is designed to review all facets of manufacturing and engine installation. The program is composed of

design, manufacturing, and installation review stages with which builders must comply. Certification applies leading‑edge
methodologies to create:

• Efficiencies and best practices specific to engine installation.

• World‑class assembly and component specifications.

• Efficient installation processes.

• Industry standard end‑of‑line test procedures.

Boatbuilders that successfully complete the program and meet all certification requirements earn Installation Quality System
Certified Manufacturer status and receive an additional one (1) year of Mercury limited factory warranty coverage on all
MerCruiser‑powered boats that are registered on and after the boatbuilder's certification date for all worldwide registrations.

Mercury has designated a section of our website to promote the Installation Quality Certification Program and communicate its
benefits to consumers. For a current list of MerCruiser‑powered boat brands that have earned Installation Quality Certification,
visit http://www.mercurymarine.com/service‑and‑support/customer‑support/warranty/

Mercury Product Protection Plan: United States and Canada

IMPORTANT: Certain performance products, triple engine installations, and commercial applications are excluded from the
Mercury Product Protection Plan program.

The Mercury Product Protection Plan provides coverage against unexpected mechanical and electrical breakdowns that may
occur beyond the standard limited warranty. The plan may be purchased up to twelve months after the original engine
registration date and is available with terms ranging from one to five years.

The optional Mercury Product Protection Plan is the only factory authorized extended warranty plan available for your engine.
See your participating Mercury MerCruiser dealer for complete program details.

the product is first put into service, whichever occurs first. Products installed by an Installation Quality Certified Installer
receive one (1) year of additional warranty coverage. 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. The warranty period is specific to
the model covered; see your model for the base coverage period:

Coverage for Horizon Inboard Models, and Vazer 100 Sterndrive Models

The Limited Warranty for Horizon Inboard Models and Vazer 100 Models is four (4) years when installed by an

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.

Transfer of Coverage

Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred from one recreational‑use customer to a subsequent recreational‑use customer
upon proper reregistration of the product. Unexpired warranty coverage cannot be transferred either to or from a commercial‑use
customer.

Mercury Marine is completed and documented. Warranty coverage becomes available upon proper registration of the product by

recreational to commercial (unless properly reregistered) may void the warranty at the sole discretion of Mercury Marine. Routine
maintenance must be performed according to the maintenance schedule in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual in
order to obtain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the right to make any warranty coverage contingent upon proof of
proper maintenance.

Emission Control Warranty Information

Important Information

To identify the applicable emission control warranty coverage for a particular product, refer to the Emission Control
Information label affixed to the engine.

Engines designated as exempt from either Federal EPA or California emission control regulations are not covered by a
separate emission control component warranty. The product's Mercury MerCruiser manufacturer's warranty is not affected by
the engine's designation under Federal EPA or California emission control regulations.

For a list of typical emission control related engine components, refer to Emission Control System Components in the
warranty section of your owner's manual.

Emission Control Information Label

A tamper‑resistant emission control information (ECI) label is affixed to the engine in a visible location at the time of
manufacture by Mercury MerCruiser. Please note that the low emissions certification will not affect the fit, function, or
performance of the engine. Boatbuilders and dealers may not remove the label or the part it is affixed to before sale. If
modifications are necessary, contact Mercury MerCruiser about the availability of replacement decals before proceeding. In
addition to the required emissions statement, the label lists the engine serial number, family, applicable emission standard, date
of manufacture (month, year), and engine displacement.

a - Applicable standard
b - Engine serial number
c - Engine family name
d - Hydrocarbons plus oxides of nitrogen family

emission limit

e - Date of manufacture
f - Engine displacement, engine power
g - Carbon monoxide family emission limit

IMPORTANT: A CE mark in the lower right corner of the Emission Control Information label indicates that an EU Declaration of
Conformance applies. Refer to the front page of this manual for further information.
IMPORTANT: Engines designated as exempt from either Federal EPA or California emission control regulations are not
covered by a separate emission control component warranty. The product's Mercury MerCruiser manufacturer's warranty is not
affected by the engine's designation under Federal EPA or California emission control regulations.

ECI Label

Standard of Compliance

Indicates a marine engine for export and is exempt under 40
CFR 1068.255 from United States EPA exhaust emission
regulations for 2010.
This marine engine is not for sale in U.S.

Lanyard Stop Switch

The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator moves outside the operator's position (as in
accidental ejection from the operator's position).

a - Stop switch
b - Lanyard
c - Clips to the operator

Accidental ejections, such as falling overboard, are more likely to occur in:

• low‑sided sport boats

• bass boats

• high‑performance boats

Accidental ejections can also occur from:

• poor operating practices

• sitting on the seat or gunwale at planing speeds

• standing at planing speeds

• operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle infested waters

• releasing your grip on the steering wheel that is pulling in one direction

• consuming alcohol or drugs

• high‑speed boating maneuvers

The lanyard is a cord usually between 122 and 152 cm (4 and 5 ft) in length when stretched out, with an element on one end
made to be inserted into the switch and a snap on the other end for attaching to the operator. The lanyard is coiled to make its
at‑rest condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. Its stretched‑out
length is made to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the operator choose to move around in an area close
to the normal operator's position. If it is desired to have a shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator's wrist or leg, or
tie a knot in the lanyard.

Activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, but the boat will continue to coast for some distance
depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn at shut down. However, the boat will not complete a full circle. While the
boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as seriously as the boat would when under power.

We strongly recommend that other occupants be instructed on proper starting and operating procedures should they be
required to operate the engine in an emergency (if the operator is accidentally ejected).

WARNING

!

If the operator falls out of the boat, stop the engine immediately to reduce the possibility of serious injury or death from being
struck by the boat. Always properly connect the operator to the stop switch using a lanyard.
