Mercury Marine dealer.

EPA Emissions Regulations
All new outboards manufactured by Mercury Marine are certified to the United
States Environmental Protection Agency, as conforming to the requirements of
the regulations for the control of air pollution from new outboard motors. This
certification is contingent on certain adjustments set to factory standards. For
this reason, the factory procedure for servicing the product must be strictly
followed and, wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any marine spark ignition (SI) engine
repair establishment or individual.
