Cummins, MerCruiser, or CMD Operation and Maintenance Manual. Owner is also responsible for providing
proof that all recommended maintenance has been performed. This warranty does not cover normal wear and
tear of covered parts. Before the expiration of the applicable warranty, Owner must notify a CMD service
provider, distributor, authorized dealer, or other repair location approved by CMD of any Warrantable Failure
and make the Engine available for repair by such facility. Locations in the United States and Canada are listed

Warrantable Failure.
Owner is responsible for non‑Engine and non‑Drive repairs, "downtime" expenses, cargo damage, fines, all

Product failure, Owner is responsible for the cost of towing the boat to the repair dock and for all associated
docking and harbor charges.
Owner is responsible for maintaining the Engine hourmeter in good working order at all times and to ensure
that the hourmeter accurately reflects the total hours of operation of the Product. Owner is responsible for the
