WARRANTY INFORMATION
13
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 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.
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 re-manufactured 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.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED: This limited warranty does not cover
routine maintenance items, tune ups, adjustments, normal wear
and tear, damage caused by abuse, abnormal use, use of a
propeller or gear ratio that does not allow the engine to run in its
recommended wide open throttle RPM range (see General
Information - 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, use of
an accessory or part not manufactured or sold by us, jet pump
impellers and liners, operation with fuels, oils or lubricants which
are not suitable for use with the product (see Fuel and Oil),
alteration or removal of parts, or water entering the engine through
the fuel intake, air intake or exhaust system. Use of the product for
racing or other competitive activity, or operating with a racing type
lower unit, at any point, even by a prior owner of the product, voids
the warranty.
