Mercury Marine warrants that each new Mercury, Mariner, Mercury Racing, Sport‑Jet, M

Jet Drive,
Tracker by Mercury Marine Outboard, Mercury 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 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 subsequent (noncommercial use) purchaser upon proper
reregistration of the product.
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 predelivery 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 and Maintenance Manual must be in use on the boat, and routine maintenance
outlined in the Operation and Maintenance 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.
