Warranty Registration—United States and Canada
Outside United States and Canada ‑ Check with your local distributor.
1. You may change your address on file with Mercury Marine at any time, including at time of warranty claim, by calling
Mercury Marine or sending a letter or fax with your name, old address, new address, and engine serial number to Mercury
Marine’s warranty registration department. Your dealer can also process this change of information.

NOTE: Registration lists must be maintained by Mercury Marine and any dealer on marine products sold in the United
States, should a safety recall notification under the Federal Safety Act be required.
2. To be eligible for warranty coverage, the product must be registered with Mercury Marine. At the time of sale, the dealer
should complete the warranty registration and immediately submit it to Mercury Marine via MercNET, E‑mail, or mail. Upon
receipt of this warranty registration, Mercury Marine will record the registration.
3. Upon processing the warranty registration, Mercury Marine will send registration verification by mail to the purchaser of the
product. If this registration verification is not received within 30 days, please contact your selling dealer immediately.
Warranty coverage is not effective until your product is registered with Mercury Marine.
Warranty Registration—Outside the United States and Canada
1. It is important that your selling dealer fills out the warranty registration card completely and mails it to the distributor or
Marine Power Service Center responsible for administering the warranty registration and claim program for your area.
2. The warranty registration card identifies your name and address, product model and serial numbers, date of sale, type of
use and the selling distributor's and dealer's code number, name and address. The distributor or dealer also certifies that
you are the original purchaser and user of the product.
3. A copy of the warranty registration card, designated as the purchaser's copy, must be given to you immediately after the
card has been completely filled out by the selling distributor or dealer. This card represents your factory registration
identification, and should be retained by you for future use when required. Should you ever require warranty service on this
product, your dealer may ask you for the warranty registration card to verify date of purchase and to use the information on
the card to prepare the warranty claim forms.
4. In some countries, the Marine Power Service Center will issue you a permanent (plastic) warranty registration card within
30 days after receiving the factory copy of the warranty registration card from your distributor or dealer. If you receive a
plastic warranty registration card, you may discard the purchaser's copy that you received from the distributor or dealer
when you purchased the product. Ask your distributor or dealer if this plastic card program applies to you.
5. For further information concerning the warranty registration card and its relationship to Warranty Claim processing, refer to
the International Warranty. See Table of Contents.
IMPORTANT: Registration lists must be maintained by the factory and dealer in some countries by law. It is our desire to have
ALL products registered at the factory should it ever be necessary to contact you. Make sure your Mercury Marine distributor or
Mercury Marine authorized dealer fills out the warranty registration card immediately and sends the factory copy to the Marine

Mercury Installation Quality Certification Program
15502
Mercury MerCruiser products installed by a Mercury Installation Quality Certified Manufacturer are Installation Quality Certified
products and may receive an additional one (1) year of limited warranty coverage.
The Installation Quality Certification program was developed to recognize MerCruiser boatbuilder customers who have
achieved higher manufacturing standards. It is the first and only comprehensive manufacturer‑installation certification program
in the industry.
The program has three goals:
1. To enhance overall product quality.
2. To improve the boat ownership experience.
3. To enhance overall customer satisfaction.
The certification process is designed to review all facets of manufacturing and engine installation. The program is composed of
design, manufacturing, and installation review stages with which builders must comply. Certification applies leading‑edge
methodologies to create:
• Efficiencies and best practices specific to engine installation.
• World‑class assembly and component specifications.
• Efficient installation processes.
• Industry standard end‑of‑line test procedures.
Boatbuilders that successfully complete the program and meet all certification requirements earn Installation Quality System
Certified Manufacturer status and receive an additional one (1) year of Mercury limited factory warranty coverage on all
MerCruiser‑powered boats that are registered on and after the boatbuilder's certification date for all worldwide registrations.
Mercury has designated a section of our website to promote the Installation Quality Certification Program and communicate its
benefits to consumers. For a current list of MerCruiser‑powered boat brands that have earned Installation Quality Certification,
visit http://www.mercurymarine.com/service‑and‑support/customer‑support/warranty/
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.

years when installed by an Installation Quality Certified Installer or one (1) year for non‑certified installations.
Warranty Period 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
Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred from one recreational‑use customer to a subsequent recreational‑use customer
upon proper reregistration of the product. Unexpired warranty coverage cannot be transferred either to or from a commercial‑use
customer.
Termination of Coverage
Warranty coverage is terminated for used product obtained in any of the following ways:
• Repossession from a retail customer
• Purchase at auction
• Purchase from a salvage yard
• Purchase from an insurance company that obtained the product as a result of an insurance claim
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 pre‑delivery 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 reregistered) may void the warranty at the sole discretion of Mercury Marine. Routine
maintenance must be performed according to the maintenance schedule in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual in
order to obtain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the right to make any warranty coverage contingent upon proof of
proper maintenance.

Section 1 - Warranty

inconvenience, slip fees, insurance coverage, loan payments, loss of time, loss of income, or any other type of incidental or
consequential damages are not covered by this warranty. Also, expenses associated with the removal or replacement of boat
partitions or other material in order to gain access to the product are not covered by this warranty. No individual or entity,
including Mercury Marine authorized dealers, has been given authority by Mercury Marine to make any affirmation,
representation, or warranty regarding the product, other than those contained in this limited warranty. If such affirmation,
representation, or warranty is made, it shall not be enforceable against Mercury Marine.

example, 2003 model year products refers to products manufactured during calendar year 2003.

Section 1 - Warranty
Page 12 90-8M0074354 eng OCTOBER 2012
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 2003 model year and later. Mercury
Marine, 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.
What Is Covered
NOTE: Your dealer will register your engine for warranty coverage for you. The warranty registration process is not related in
any way to the process of obtaining a license, title, or registration from state boating authorities. You should ask your dealer to
update your warranty registration information to reflect a change of address or a transfer of ownership. (This change may be
made at any time.) Refer to the Warranty Registration information in your owner's manual or to your dealer for more
information.
Mercury Marine warrants the components of the emissions control systems (see the components of the emission control
system listed following) of its new, 2003 model year and later California‑certified inboard and 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 Marine 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.
Duration of Coverage
NOTE: Mercury Marine does not establish model years for the Mercury MerCruiser product line. In order to comply with 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.
This limited warranty provides coverage for the components of the emissions control systems. Specific emission control related
parts on new inboard or sterndrive engines are warranted for 3 years or 480 hours, whichever occurs first, from either the date
the product is first sold, or first put into service, whichever occurs first. 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 Transfer of Warranty.
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, please notify Mercury Marine and Mercury will then arrange

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.
What Mercury Will Do
Mercury Marine's sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our expense and at our option, repairing or
replacing defective 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.

throttle RPM range (see Specifications), operation of the product in a manner inconsistent with the recommended operation
procedures, neglect, accident, submersion, improper installation (proper installation specifications and techniques are set forth
in the installation instructions for the product), improper service, jet pump impellers and liners, operation with fuels, oils or
lubricants which are not suitable for use with the product (see Specifications), alteration or removal of parts.
