Mercury Marine products are built using the most advanced corrosion protection process available. This
manufacturing system, complemented by dealer and customer participation in an anti-corrosion preventive
maintenance program, provides protection against repair costs incurred by the effects of marine corrosion.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Protection against certain types of corrosion damage must be provided by using such systems as the Quicksilver
MerCathode System and/or Galvanic Isolator. These certain types of corrosion damage are: damage due to
stray electrical currents (on-shore power connections, nearby boats, submerged metal), or improper application
of copper base anti-fouling paint.
If anti-fouling protection is required, Tri-Butyl-Tin-Adipate (TBTA) base anti-fouling paints are recommended on
Mercury MerCruiser boating applications. In areas where Tri-Butyl-Tin-Adipate base paints are prohibited by law,
copper base paints can be used on the boat hull and transom. Do not apply paint to the Mercury MerCruiser drive
unit or transom assembly. In addition, care must be taken to avoid an electrical interconnection between the
Mercury MerCruiser Product and the paint. Corrosion damage that results from the improper application of
copper base paint will not be covered by this limited warranty.
TRANSFER OF WARRANTY
This Limited Warranty is transferable to subsequent purchasers for the remainder of the unused portion of the
3-year limited corrosion warranty.
