NTRODUCTION
The California Air Resources Board has promulgated air emissions
regulations for inboard and sterndrive engines. The regulations
apply to all inboard and sterndrive engines that were manufactured
for the 2014 and 2015 model year. Mercury Racing, in compliance
with those regulations, provides this limited warranty for the
emission control systems (see the components of the emission
control system listed following), and further warrants that the inboard
or sterndrive engine was designed, built, and equipped to conform
with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air
Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part
5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code. For information
regarding the limited warranty for the nonemissions related
components of the inboard or sterndrive engine, please see the
limited warranty statement for your engine.

Mercury Racing warrants the components of the emissions control
systems (see the components of the emission control system listed
following) of its new, 2009 model year and later California‑certified
high performance sterndrive engines, registered to a California
resident, to be free from defects in material or workmanship that
cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material
respects to that part as described in the application of Mercury
Racing for certification from the California Air Resources Board, for
the period of time, and under the conditions identified below. The
cost to diagnose a warranty failure is covered if the warranty claim is
approved. Damage to other engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part will also be repaired under warranty.

OVERAGE
This limited warranty provides coverage for the components of the
emissions control systems. Specific emission control related parts
on new high performance sterndrive engines greater than 500
horsepower are warranted for a period of three years or 480 hours
(as determined by the engine’s ECM‑integrated hour meter),
whichever first occurs, for electronic emission‑related components
including, but not limited to, sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass air
flow sensors, crankshaft position sensors, etc.), solenoids (e.g., fuel
injectors, idle control valves, pressure regulators, etc.), ignition
components, powertrain control modules, and for the following:
catalysts, carburetors, fuel pumps, evaporative components
(including low‑permeation hoses), exhaust gas recirculation, and
other direct emissions devices. For new high performance sterndrive
engines mechanical emission‑related components, including but not
limited to, the engine block, crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods,
valves, manifolds, rotating parts, pistons, and turbo/superchargers
are warranted for a period of 1 year or 150 hours (as determined by
the engine’s ECM‑integrated hour meter), whichever first occurs for
engines greater than 500 horsepower and less than or equal to 650
horsepower and for a period of 1 year or 50 hours (as determined by
the engine’s ECM‑integrated hour meter), whichever first occurs for
engines greater than 650 horsepower. Emission related normal
maintenance items such as spark plugs and filters that are on the
warranted parts list are warranted up to their first required
replacement interval only. Refer to
Emission Control System
Components and Maintenance Schedule
. 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. Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred to
a subsequent purchaser. Refer to
