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 wideāopenāthrottle
RPM range (see 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 Specifications),
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.
Expenses related to haulāout, launch, towing, storage, telephone, rental, inconvenience, slip fees, insurance coverage, loan
payments, loss of time, loss of income, or any other type of incidental or consequential damages are not covered by this warranty.
Also, expenses associated with the removal and/or replacement of boat partitions or material caused by boat design for access
to the product are not covered by this warranty.
Nonāwarranty maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine
engine repair establishment or individual. The use of nonāMercury parts for nonāwarranty maintenance or repairs will not be
grounds for disallowing other warranty work. The use of addāon (as defined at section 1900 (b)(1) and (b)(10) of Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations) or modified parts not exempted by the California Air Resources Board may be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim, at the discretion of Mercury Marine. Failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a nonāexempted
addāon or modified part will not be covered.
