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
