WHAT MERCURY WILL DO:
Mercury's sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our option, repairing a
corroded part, replacing such part or parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured 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 labor and 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. Proof of registered ownership 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 electrical system corrosion; corrosion resulting from damage,
corrosion which causes purely cosmetic damage, abuse, or improper service; corrosion to accessories, instruments, steering
systems; corrosion to factory installed jet drive unit; damage due to marine growth; product sold with less than a one year
limited Product warranty; replacement parts (parts purchased by customer); products used in a commercial application.
Commercial use is defined as any work or employment related use of the product, or any use of the product which generates
income, for any part of the warranty period, even if the product is only occasionally used for such purposes.
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.
DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS:
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE LIFE OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARE EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY. SOME STATES/COUNTRIES DO NOT
ALLOW FOR THE DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IDENTIFIED ABOVE, AS A RESULT, THEY MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
