If modifications are necessary, contact Mercury about the availability of replacement decals before proceeding. In addition to the required emissions statement, the label lists the engine serial number, family, applicable emission standard, date of manufacture (month, year), and engine displacement.

a – Applicable standard for model year

b – Engine serial number

c – US EPA engine family name

d – Hydrocarbons plus oxides of nitrogen family emission limit

CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS LIMITED WARRANTY

California Emissions Limited Warranty

NOTE: Mercury Marine does not establish model years for the Mercury product lines. In order to comply with California Air Resources Board (CARB) warranty regulations, and for that limited purpose only, model year shall have the same meaning as calendar year. As an example, 2003 model year products refers to products manufactured during calendar year 2003.

The California Air Resources Board has promulgated air emissions regulations for marine engines. The regulations apply to all outboard engines that were manufactured for the 2001 model year and later, and for all inboard and sterndrive engines that were manufactured for the 2003 model year and later. Mercury Marine, in compliance with those regulations, provides this limited warranty for the emission control systems (refer to the applicable components listed in Emission Control System Components), and further warrants that the 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 nonemissions related components of the engine, refer to Mercury Marine Limited Warranty.

WHAT IS COVERED

Mercury Marine warrants the components of the emissions control systems (refer to Emission Control System Components) of its new, 2001 model year and later outboards and 2003 model year and newer California‑certified inboard and sterndrive engines 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 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.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED

Nonwarranty maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine engine repair establishment or individual. The use of non‑Mercury parts for nonwarranty maintenance or repairs will not be grounds for disallowing other warranty work. The use of add‑on (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 nonexempted add‑on or modified part will not be covered.

CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS LIMITED WARRANTY

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the marine engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operation and Maintenance manual.

Mercury Marine recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your marine engine, but Mercury Marine cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the marine engine owner, you should however be aware that Mercury Marine may deny you warranty coverage if your marine engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your marine engine to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized to service the Product as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, contact Mercury Marine at 1‑920‑929‑5040.
