Mercury Marine products are built using the most advanced corrosion protection process available. This manufac-
turing system, complemented by dealer and customer participation in an anti-corrosion preventive maintenance
program, provides protection against repair costs incurred by the effects of marine corrosion.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Protection against certain types of corrosion damage must be provided by using such systems as the Quicksilver
MerCathode System and/or Galvanic Isolator. These certain types of corrosion damage are: damage due to stray
electrical currents (on-shore power connections, nearby boats, submerged metal), or improper application of cop-
per base anti-fouling paint.
If anti-fouling protection is required, Tri-Butyl-Tin-Adipate (TBTA) base antifouling paints are recommended on
MerCruiser boating applications. In areas where Tri-Butyl-Tin-Adipate base paints are prohibited by law, copper
base paints can be used on the boat hull and transom. Do not apply paint to the MerCruiser drive unit or transom
assembly. In addition, care must be taken to avoid an electrical interconnection between the MerCruiser Product
and the paint. Corrosion damage that results from the improper application of copper base paint will not be covered
by this limited warranty.
TRANSFER OF WARRANTY
This Limited Warranty is transferable to subsequent purchasers for the remainder of the unused portion of the
3-year limited warranty.
