WARRANTY INFORMATION
4
CONDITIONS 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. Inaccurate warranty registration information regarding recreational use,
or subsequent change of use from recreational to commercial (unless properly re–registered) may void the warranty
at the sole discretion of Mercury Marine. Routine maintenance outlined in the Operation and Maintenance Manual
must be timely performed in order to maintain warranty coverage. If this maintenance is performed by the retail
customer Mercury Marine reserves the right to make future warranty coverage contingent on 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 defective 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 laborand 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. The warranty registration card is the only valid registration
identificationand must be presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is requested in order to obtain
coverage.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED: This limited warranty does not cover routine maintenance items, tune ups, adjustments,
normal wear and tear, damage caused by abuse, abnormal use, use of a propeller or gear ratio that does not allow
the engine to run in its recommended wide open throttle RPM range (see the Operation and Maintenance Manual),
operation of the product in a manner inconsistent with the recommended operation/duty cycle section of the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, neglect, accident, submersion, improper installation (proper installation
specifications and techniques are set forth in the installation instructions for the product), improper service, use of
an accessory or part not manufactured or sold by us, jet pump impellers and liners, operation with fuels, oils or
lubricants which are not suitable for use with the product (see the Operation and Maintenance Manual), alteration
or removal of parts, or water entering the engine through the fuel intake, air intake or exhaust system. Use of the
product for racing or other competitive activity, or operating with a racing type lower unit, at any point, even by a
prior owner of the product, voids the warranty.
Expenses related to haul out, launch, towing, storage, telephone, rental, inconvenience, slip fees, insurance
coverage, loan payments, loss of time, loss of income, or any other type of incidental or consequential damages
are not coveredby this warranty. Also, expenses associated with the removal and/or replacement of boat partitions
or material caused by boat design for access to the product are not covered by this warranty.
No individual or entity, including Mercury Marine authorized dealers, has been given authority by Mercury Marine
to make any affirmation, representation or warranty regarding the product, other than those contained in this limited
warranty, and if made, shall not be enforceable against Mercury Marine.
