NOVEMBER 2010 Page 7
This limited corrosion warranty provides coverage for three (3) years from either the date the product is
first sold, or the date on which the product is first put into service, whichever occurs first. The repair and
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
subsequent (noncommercial use) purchaser upon proper re‑registration of the product. Warranty
coverage is terminated for used product repossessed from a retail customer, purchased at auction, from
a salvage yard, or from an insurance company that obtained the product as a result of an insurance
claim.
Condition 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. Corrosion
prevention devices specified in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual must be in use on the
boat, and routine maintenance outlined in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual must be timely
performed (including without limitation the replacement of sacrificial anodes, use of specified lubricants,
and touch‑up of nicks and scratches) in order to maintain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves
the right to make warranty coverage contingent upon 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
corroded 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 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.
What Is Not Covered
This limited warranty does not cover electrical system corrosion; corrosion resulting from damage,
corrosion which causes purely cosmetic damage, abuse or improper service; corrosion to accessories,
instruments, steering systems; corrosion to factory installed jet drive unit; damage due to marine growth;
product sold with less than a one year limited Product warranty; replacement parts (parts purchased by
the Customer); products used in a commercial application. 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
warranty period, even if the product is only occasionally used for such purposes.
