WARRANTY INFORMATION

NOTE: Registration lists must be maintained by Mercury Marine

and any dealer on marine products sold in the United States,

should a safety recall notification under the Federal Safety Act be

required.

2. To be eligible for warranty coverage, the product must be

registered with Mercury Marine. At the time of sale, the dealer

should complete the warranty registration and immediately

submit it to Mercury Marine via MercNET, E‑mail, or mail.

Upon receipt of this warranty registration, Mercury Marine will

record the registration.

3. Upon processing the warranty registration, Mercury Marine

will send registration verification by mail to the purchaser of

the product. If this registration verification is not received
