END CAP OPTIMAX AIR COMPRESSOR
Page 6 of 6 99-6 JUNE 1999
Dear Mercury Marine Customer:
Our records indicate that you are the owner of a Mercury Marine outboard included in a recall.
Due to an air compressor manufacturing error, the air compressor end cap retaining bolts may
become loose. The loose bolts could allow the end cap to lift out of the compressor body caus-
ing an oil leak, and/or loss of air pressure.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Contact your authorized dealer, preferably the one who sold you the engine, and make ar-
rangements to determine if your engine needs to be repaired. The dealer will refer to Mercury
Marine Service Bulletin 99-6 for instructions. You must deliver your engine to the dealer and
present this letter, the reverse side of which is a claim-form your dealer needs to send to us
for reimbursement.
NOTE: If your boat is in storage, you may want to wait until you remove it from storage to have
this service performed.
WHAT WE WILL DO
We will reimburse the authorized dealer for inspecting and/or replacing the air compressor end
cap assembly in line with the service bulletin.
We apologize for any inconvenience this recall may have caused you. However, we have tak-
en this action to assure your boating enjoyment and continued satisfaction with our product.
Sincerely,
Mercury Marine
