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

Boat builders 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 boat builder's certification date for all worldwide registrations.
