CA455 Warranty Information

Owner Warranty Registration

UNITED STATES AND CANADA ONLY

•It is important that your selling dealer fills out the Warranty

Registration Card completely and mails it to the factory

immediately upon sale of the new product.

•It identifies name and address of the original purchaser, product

model and serial number(s), date of sale, type of use and selling

dealer’s code, name and address. The dealer also certifies that

you are the original purchaser and user of the product.

•Upon receipt of the Warranty Registration Card at the factory, you

will be issued a plastic Owner Warranty Registration Card which

is your only valid registration identification. It must be presented

to the servicing dealer should warranty service be required.

Warranty claims will not be accepted without presentation of this

card.

•A temporary Owner Warranty Registration Card will be presented

to you when you purchase the product. It is valid only for 30 days

from date of sale while your plastic Owner Warranty Registration

Card is being processed. Should your product need service

during this period, present the temporary registration card to the

dealer. He will attach it to your warranty claim form.

•Because of your selling dealer’s continuing personal interest in

your satisfaction, the product should be returned to him for

warranty service.

•If your plastic card is not received within 30 days from date of new

product sale, please contact your selling dealer.

•The product warranty is not effective until the product is registered

at the factory.

•NOTICE: Registration lists must be maintained by factory and

dealer on marine products sold in the United States, should

notification under the Federal Boat Safety Act be required.

International Owner Registration

OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

•It is important that your selling dealer fills out the Warranty

Registration Card completely and mails it to the distributor or

Marine Power Service Center responsible for administering the

warranty registration/claim program for your area.

•The Warranty Registration Card identifies your name and

address, product model and serial number(s), date of sale, type

of use and the selling distributor’s/dealer’s code number, name

and address. The distributor/dealer also certifies that you are the

original purchaser and user of the product.

•A copy of the Warranty Registration Card, designated as the

“Purchaser’s Copy,”MUST be given to you immediately after the

card has been completely filled out by the selling

distributor/dealer. This card represents your factory registration

identification, and should be retained by you for future use when

required. Should you ever require warranty service on this

product, your dealer may ask you for the Warranty Registration

Card to verify date of purchase and to use the information on the

card to prepare the warranty claim form(s).

•In some countries, the Marine Power Service Center will issue

you a permanent (plastic) Warranty Registration Card within 30

days after receiving the “Factory Copy”of the Warranty

Registration Card from your distributor/dealer. If you receive a

plastic Warranty Registration Card, you may discard the

“Purchaser’s Copy”that you received from the distributor/dealer

when you purchased the product. Ask your distributor/dealer if

this plastic card program applies to you.

•For further information concerning the Warranty Registration

Card and its relationship to Warranty Claim processing, refer to

the “International Warranty.”Refer to “Table of Contents.”

IMPORTANT: Registration lists must be maintained by the

factory and dealer in some countries by law. It is our desire to

have ALL products registered at the factory should it ever be

necessary to contact you. Make sure your dealer/distributor

fills out the warranty registration card immediately and sends

the factory copy to the Marine Power International Service

Center for your area.

CC1048 Warranty Policies

Mercury MerCruiser One Year Limited Warranty

(Gasoline Fueled Products Only)

WHAT IS COVERED

Mercury Marine warrants its new products to be free of defects in ma-

terial and workmanship during the period described below.

DURATION OF COVERAGE

This Limited Warranty provides coverage for either one (1) year from

the date the product is first sold to a recreational use retail purchaser,

or the date on which the product is first put into service, whichever

occurs first. Commercial users of these products receive warranty

coverage of either one (1) year from the date of first retail sale, or the

accumulation of 500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Com-

mercial use is defined as any work or employment related use of the

product, or any use of the product which generates income, for any

part of the warranty period, even if the product is only occasionally

used for such purposes. 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 war-

ranty coverage can be transferred from one recreational use cus-

tomer to a subsequent recreational use customer upon proper re-

registration of the product. Unexpired warranty coverage cannot be

transferred either to or from a commercial use customer.
