California Emission Control Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
NOTE: Mercury Marine does not establish model years for the Mercury MerCruiser product line. In order to comply with CARB
warranty regulations, and for that limited purpose only, model year shall have the same meaning as calendar year. As an example,
2003 model year products refers to products manufactured during calendar year 2003.
The California Air Resources Board is pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2003 model year and later
inboard or sterndrive engine. In California, new inboard and sterndrive engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti‑smog standards. Mercury Marine must warrant the emission control system on your inboard or sterndrive
engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your inboard
or sterndrive engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic
converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission‑related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair your inboard or sterndrive engine at no cost to you; including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage
Select emission control parts from 2009 and later (inboard or sterndrive) engines are warranted for 3 years or 480 hours, whichever
first occurs. However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted for engines that are equipped with hour
meters as defined in s 2441(a)(13) or their equivalent. If any emission‑related part on your engine is defective under warranty, the
part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. Mercury Marine recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your inboard or sterndrive
engine, but Mercury Marine cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you should however be aware that Mercury Marine may deny you warranty coverage
if your inboard or sterndrive engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your inboard or sterndrive engine to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized to service the product
as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, refer to Owner Service Assistance for contact
information.
Emission Control Information Label
A tamper‑resistant Emission Control Information label is affixed in a visible location to the engine at time of manufacture by Mercury
MerCruiser. In addition to the required emissions statement, the label lists the engine serial number, family, STD (emission
standard/level), date of manufacture (month, year), and the engine displacement. Please note that the low emissions certification
will not affect the fit, function, or performance of the engines. 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.
