Section 1 - Warranty
90-899883173   DECEMBER  2007 Page  11
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.) See the Warranty Registration section of your
manual or 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 under the warranty (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. Select emission control parts from model year 2003‑2005 (inboard or sterndrive)
engines are warranted for 2 years from either the date the product is first sold, or first put
into service, whichever occurs first. Select emission control parts from 2006‑2007 (inboard
or sterndrive) engines are warranted for 2 years from either the date the product is first
sold, or first put into service, whichever occurs first. Select emission control parts from 2008
(inboard or sterndrive)  engines are warranted  for 3 years  or 480 hours, whichever first
occurs, from either the date the product is first sold, or first put into service, whichever
occurs  first.  Select  emission  control  parts  from  2009  and  later  (inboard  or  sterndrive)
engines are warranted for 3 years or 480 hours, whichever first occurs, 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 (see following) are warranted up to their first required replacement interval only. (See
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. (See
instructions on transfer of warranty). Warranty coverage is terminated for used product
repossessed from a retail customer, purchased at auction, from a salvage yard, or from an
insurance company that obtained the product as a result of an insurance claim.
