Warranty Policy
Mercruiser Diesel Limited Warranty
I. We warrant each new production MerCruiser Diesel Sterndrive Power Package, Inboard Engine and
Accessories attached thereto (hereafter referred to as “Product”), manufactured by MerCruiser
(hereafter referred to as the “Company”), to be free from defects in material and workmanship, but only
when the customer purchases or obtains predelivery service from a Dealer authorized by us to
distribute MerCruiser Product in the country in which the sale or predelivery service occurred. This
warranty shall apply only to pleasure craft and light-duty craft applications.
II. This warranty shall become effective upon the date of sale to the first purchaser or user of the Product.
The warranty period for Pleasure Craft applications is one (1) year from date of sale to the first
purchaser or user of the product. The warranty period for Light-Duty Craft applications is one (1) year
from date of sale to the first purchaser or user of the product, or the accumulation of 500 hours of engine
operation, whichever occurs first. For purposes of this warranty Pleasure Craft is defined as a
recreational planing craft used exclusively for pleasure and recreation. Light-Duty Craft is defined as
a planing hull vessel used in law enforcement, commercial, or professional entertainment activity, or
in an enterprise or venture in which revenue (in any amount) is generated directly or indirectly.
Light-Duty Craft is further defined as having an annual operating time not to exceed 500 hours,
Wide-Open-Throttle operation is limited to less that 10% of operating time, and continuous cruising
RPM is limited to at or less than 90% of Wide-Open-Throttle RPM. If the applicable law prohibits
limitation of warranty coverage to one (1) year, then the warranty shall be the minimum period required
by law. The unused period of the applicable warranty, if any, is transferable to subsequent purchasers.
III. To validate the warranty, the “Warranty Registration Card”, included with each Product, must be prop-
erly completed by the selling dealer and forwarded immediately after the sale to Mercury Marine
(U.S.A. and Canada) or to a Marine Power International Branch, or Distributor Service Office (outside
the U.S.A. and Canada).
IV. Purchaser must provide proof of purchase and substantiate the original date of sale by presenting to
the dealer, authorized to service the Product, the original purchaser’s copy of the “Warranty
Registration Card” or the “Owner Warranty Registration Card”. If either of these items is not available,
purchaser must provide a copy of the original purchaser’s “Bill of Sale” (Sales Contract) for the Product
to be serviced. Warranty claims will not be accepted by the dealer until the original date of sale and
Product serial number can be verified.
V. It is a condition for the continuation of this warranty that the Product be taken to an authorized
MerCruiser Service Dealer, after 100 hours of engine operation, but not later than 150 hours, for
required checks and adjustments. A copy of the dealer service work order must be retained as
evidence of the completion of this requirement.
VI. Since this warranty applies to defects in material or workmanship, it does not apply to normal wear,
adjustments, tune-ups or to damage caused by: 1) Neglect, lack of maintenance, accident, abnormal
operation, improper installation or service; 2) Use of a propeller not properly suited to application/boat
load or, failure to follow instructions in applicable service and warranty information manuals or
operation and maintenance manual; 3) Use of an accessory or part not manufactured or sold by us;
4) Operation with fuels, oils, lubricants or coolants/coolant additives which are not suitable for use with
the Product or recommended by us; 5) Participating in or preparing for racing or other competitive
activity or operating with racing type lower unit; 6) Alteration or removal of parts; 7) Water entering
engine cylinder/s through the exhaust system or air intake system; 8) Use of product in a
full-displacement or semi-displacement hull vessel; or 9) Use or operation of the product in a manner
inconsistent with the “Recommended Operation/Duty Cycle” section of the Operation, Maintenance
and Warranty Manual.
