California Emissions Limited Warranty
The California Air Resources Board has promulgated air emissions regulations for inboard
and sterndrive engines. The regulations apply to all inboard and sterndrive engines that
were manufactured for the 2003 model year
1
and later. Mercury Marine, in compliance with
those regulations, provides this limited warranty for the emission control systems (see the
components of the emission control system listed following), and further warrants that the
inboard or sterndrive engine was designed, built and equipped to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in
Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code. For information
regarding the limited warranty for the non-emissions related components of the inboard or
sterndrive engine, please see the limited warranty statement for your engine.
WHAT IS COVERED
Mercury Marine warrants the components of the emissions control systems (see the
components of the emission control system listed following) of its new, 2003 model year
1
and later California certified inboard and sterndrive engines, registered
2
to a California
resident, to be free from defects in material or workmanship that cause the failure of a
warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in the
application of Mercury Marine for certification from the California Air Resources Board, for
the period of time, and under the conditions identified below. The cost to diagnose a
warranty failure is covered under the warranty (if the warranty claim is approved). Damage
to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part will also be repaired
under warranty.
DURATION OF COVERAGE
This limited warranty provides coverage for the components of the emissions control
systems of new 2003-2008 model year
1
inboard and sterndrive engines for 2 years from
either the date the product is first sold, or first put into service, whichever occurs first.
Emission related normal maintenance items such as spark plugs and filters, that are on the
warranted parts list (see following) are warranted up to their first required replacement
interval only. (See Maintenance Schedule). 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 purchaser. (See instructions on transfer of warranty).
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE

access to the product for warranty service. Warranty claims shall be made by delivering the

all related transportation charges and/or travel time. If the service provided is not covered
by this warranty, purchaser shall pay for all related labor and material, and any other
expenses associated with that service. Purchaser shall not, unless requested by Mercury,
