JUNE 2015
Nonwarranty maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine
engine repair establishment or individual. The use of non‑Mercury parts for nonwarranty maintenance or repairs will not be
grounds for disallowing other warranty work. The use of add‑on (as defined at section 1900 (b)(1) and (b)(10) of Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations) or modified parts not exempted by the California Air Resources Board may be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim, at the discretion of Mercury Marine. Failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
nonexempted add‑on or modified part will not be covered.

California Emission Control Warranty Statement
NOTE: Mercury Marine does not establish model years for the Mercury MerCruiser product line. In order to comply with
California Air Resources Board (CARB) warranty regulations, and for that limited purpose only, model year shall have the same
meaning as calendar year. As an example, 2003 model year products refers to products manufactured during calendar year
2003.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your 2014–2015 model year inboard or sterndrive engine. In California, new inboard and
sterndrive engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent antismog standards. Mercury Marine
must warrant the emission control system on your inboard or sterndrive engine for the periods of time listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your inboard or sterndrive engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission‑related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair your inboard or sterndrive engine at no cost to you; including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Select emission control parts from 2009 and newer (inboard or sterndrive)
engines are warranted for three years or 480 hours, whichever occurs first. However, warranty coverage based on the hourly
period is only permitted for engines that are equipped with hour meters as defined in § 2441(a)(13) or their equivalent. If any
emission‑related part on your engine is defective under warranty, the part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Mercury Marine recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your inboard or sterndrive engine, but Mercury Marine cannot deny warranty solely for the
lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you should however be aware that Mercury Marine may deny you warranty
coverage if your inboard or sterndrive engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your inboard or sterndrive engine to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized to service the
product as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30
days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, contact Mercury Marine at 1‑920‑929‑5040.
