MERCURY MERCRUISER LIMITED WARRANTY (GASOLINE-FUELED PRODUCTS ONLY)
What is Covered
Mercury Marine warrants its new products to be free of defects in material and workmanship during the period described following.
Duration of Coverage
Warranty Period for Recreational Use
The warranty period begins on the date the product is first sold to a recreational‑use retail purchaser or the date on which 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:
Horizon Sterndrive and Inboard Models, and MX 6.2 Black Scorpion Tow Sport Model Coverage
The Limited Warranty for the Horizon Sterndrive and Inboard Models, and MX 6.2 Black Scorpion Tow Sport Models is
four (4) years when installed by an Installation Quality Certified Installer or three (3) years for noncertified installations.
SeaCore Sterndrive Model Coverage
The Limited Warranty for SeaCore Sterndrive Models is four (4) years when installed by an Installation Quality Certified

Scorpion Tow Sport Models, or SeaCore Sterndrive Models, is two (2) years when installed by an Installation Quality
Certified Installer or one (1) year for noncertified installations.
Warranty Period for Commercial Use
The warranty period begins on the date the product is first sold to a commercial‑use retail purchaser or the date on which the
product is first put into service, whichever occurs first. Commercial users of these products receive warranty coverage for either
one (1) year from the date of first retail sale or the accumulation of 500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Commercial
use is defined as any work‑related or employment‑related use of the product, or any use of the product that 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.
Termination of Coverage
Warranty coverage is terminated for used product obtained in any of the following ways:
•
Repossession from a retail customer
•
Purchase at auction
