WARRANTY INFORMATION
eng 9  
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.
