YEAR LIMITED CORROSION WARRANTY: SEACORE STERNDRIVE MODELS WITH GAS ENGINES
What Is Covered
Mercury Marine warrants that each new MerCruiser SeaCore engine, transom, and sterndrive package
will not be rendered inoperative as a direct result of corrosion for the period of time described below.
Duration of Coverage
This limited corrosion warranty provides coverage for four (4) years from either the date on which the
MerCruiser SeaCore engine, transom, and sterndrive package is first sold or the date on which it is first
put into service, whichever occurs first. 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 (noncommercial‑use) purchaser upon proper
reregistration of the product. Warranty coverage is terminated for used product obtained in any of the
following ways:
•
Repossession from a retail customer
•
Purchase at auction
•
Purchase from a salvage yard
•
Purchase from an insurance company that obtained the product as a result of an insurance claim
Condition That Must Be Met in Order to Obtain Warranty Coverage
Warranty coverage is available only to retail customers that purchase from a dealer authorized by
Mercury Marine to distribute the product in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the
pre‑delivery inspection process specified by Mercury Marine is completed and documented. Warranty
coverage becomes available upon proper registration of the product by the authorized dealer.
Corrosion‑prevention devices specified in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual must be in use
on the boat, and routine maintenance outlined in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual must
be performed according to the maintenance schedule in the Operation, Maintenance & Warranty manual
(including without limitation the replacement of sacrificial anodes, use of specified lubricants, and
touch‑up of nicks and scratches) in order to maintain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the
right to make warranty coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
What Mercury Marine Will Do
Mercury's sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to, at our option, repairing a
corroded part, replacing such part or parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured parts, or
refunding the purchase price of the Mercury product. Mercury reserves the right to improve or modify
products from time to time without assuming an obligation to modify products previously manufactured.
How to Obtain Warranty Coverage
The customer must provide Mercury Marine with a reasonable opportunity to repair and reasonable
access to the product for warranty service. Warranty claims shall be made by delivering the product for
inspection to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized to service the product. If the purchaser cannot deliver
the product to such a dealer, written notice must be given to Mercury Marine. Mercury Marine will then
arrange for the inspection and any covered repair. The purchaser in that case shall pay for all related
transportation charges and/or travel time. If the service provided is not covered by this warranty, the
purchaser shall pay for all related labor and material, and any other expenses associated with that
service. The purchaser shall not, unless requested by Mercury Marine, ship the product or parts of the
product directly to Mercury Marine. Proof of registered ownership must be presented to the dealer at the
time warranty service is requested in order to obtain coverage.
