Mercury Product Protection Plan: United States and Canada
IMPORTANT: Certain performance products, triple engine installations, and commercial applications are excluded from the
Mercury Product Protection Plan program.
The Mercury Product Protection Plan provides coverage against unexpected mechanical and electrical breakdowns that may
occur beyond the standard limited warranty. The plan may be purchased up to twelve months after the original engine
registration date and is available with terms ranging from one to five years.
The optional Mercury Product Protection Plan is the only factory authorized extended warranty plan available for your engine.
See your participating Mercury MerCruiser dealer for complete program details.
Mercury MerCruiser Warranty Coverage (Gasoline‑Fueled Products)
WHAT IS COVERED:
Mercury Marine warrants its new products to be free of defects in material and workmanship during the
period described in the warranty section of the owner's manual.
DURATION OF WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR RECREATIONAL USE:
The warranty period begins on the date the product is
first sold to a recreational‑use retail purchaser, or the date on which the product is first put into service, whichever occurs first.
Products installed by an Installation Quality Certified Manufacturer receive one (1) year of additional warranty coverage. 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. Refer to
Global Warranty Charts
for the warranty period specific to the model and region
where the power package was purchased.
WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR COMMERCIAL USE:
The warranty period begins on the date the product is first sold to a
commercial‑use retail purchaser, or the date on which the product is first put into service, whichever occurs first. Commercial
users of these products receive warranty coverage for either one (1) year from the date of first retail sale or the accumulation of
500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Commercial use is defined as any work‑related or employment‑related use of
the product, or any use of the product that generates income for any part of the warranty period, even if the product is only
occasionally used for such purposes. 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.
TRANSFER OF COVERAGE:
The limited warranty is transferable to a subsequent purchaser, but only for the remainder of the
unused portion of the limited warranty. This will not apply to products used for commercial applications.
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 predelivery inspection process specified by Mercury Marine is completed and
documented. Warranty coverage becomes available upon proper registration of the product by the authorized dealer.
Inaccurate warranty registration information regarding recreational use or subsequent change of use from recreational to
commercial (unless properly registered) may void the warranty at the sole discretion of Mercury Marine. Routine maintenance
must be performed according to the maintenance schedule in the Owner's Manual in order to obtain warranty coverage.
Mercury Marine reserves the right to make any warranty coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
WHAT MERCURY WILL DO:
Mercury Marine's sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our option,
repairing a defective part, replacing such part or parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured parts, or refunding
the purchase price of the Mercury Marine product. Mercury Marine 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 Marine 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 Marine dealer authorized to service the product. If the purchaser cannot deliver the product to such a
dealer, written notice must be given to Mercury Marine. Mercury Marine will then arrange for the inspection and any covered
repair. The purchaser, in that case, shall pay for all related transportation charges and travel time. If the service provided is not
covered by this warranty, the purchaser shall pay for all related labor and material and any other expenses associated with that
service. The purchaser shall not, unless requested by Mercury Marine, ship the product or parts of the product directly to
Mercury Marine. 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 the following:
•
Routine maintenance items
•
Adjustments
•
Normal wear and tear
•
Faded paint
•
Damage caused by abuse
•
Abnormal use
•
Use of a propeller or gear ratio that does not allow the engine to run in its recommended RPM range. Refer to the
Specifications
section.
