Corrosion damage caused by stray electrical currents (onshore power
connections, nearby boats, submerged metal) is not covered by this corrosion
warranty and should be protected against by the use of a corrosion protection
system, such as the Mercury Precision Parts or Quicksilver MerCathode
system and/or Galvanic Isolator. Corrosion damage caused by improper
application of copper base antifouling paints is also not covered by this limited
warranty. If antifouling protection is required, Tri‑Butyl‑Tin‑Adipate (TBTA) base
antifouling paints are recommended on Outboard and MerCruiser boating
applications. In areas where TBTA base paints are prohibited by law, copper
base paints can be used on the hull and transom. Do not apply paint to the
Outboard or MerCruiser product. In addition, care must be taken to avoid an
electrical interconnection between the warranted product and the paint. For
MerCruiser product, an unpainted gap of at least 38 mm (1.5 in.) should be left
around the transom assembly. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual
for additional details.
For additional information regarding events and circumstances covered by this
warranty, and those that are not, see the Warranty Coverage section of the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, incorporated by reference into this
warranty.
