Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The  California  Air  Resources  Board  is  pleased  to  explain  the  emission  control  system
warranty on your 2003 model year
1.
 and later inboard or sterndrive engine. In California,
new inboard and sterndrive engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti‑smog standards. Mercury Marine must warrant the emission control
system on your inboard or sterndrive engine for the periods of time listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your inboard or sterndrive
engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection
system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission‑related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair your inboard or sterndrive
engine at no cost to you; including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage
For  2003‑2008  spark‑ignition  inboard  and  sterndrive  marine  engines:  Select  emission
control parts from model year
1. 
 2003‑2008 inboard and sterndrive engines are warranted
for 2 years. If any emission‑related part on your engine is defective under warranty, the
part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Mercury Marine recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your inboard or sterndrive engine, but Mercury
Marine cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the inboard or sterndrive engine owner, you should however be aware that Mercury
Marine may deny you warranty coverage if your inboard or sterndrive engine or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. 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.
1. 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.
