What Is Covered
Mercury Marine warrants that each new Mercury, Mariner, Mercury Racing, Sport Jet, M
2
Jet Drive, Tracker
by Mercury Marine Outboard, MerCruiser Inboard or Sterndrive engine (Product) will not be rendered
inoperative as a direct result of corrosion for the period of time described below.
Duration of Coverage
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.
