Mercury Limited Warranty

This Mercury Marine Limited Warranty provides coverage for the time specified in the warranty chart.

Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred from one pleasure-use customer to a subsequent pleasure-use customer upon proper re-registration of the product. Unexpired warranty coverage cannot be transferred to or from a commercial-use customer.

Warranty coverage is available only to retail customers who 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 Mercury Marine specified predelivery inspection (PDI) process is complete and documented.
