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. Warranty coverage is not effective until your product is registered with Mercury Marine and the warranty registration process is not related in any way to the process of obtaining a license, title, or registration from state boating authorities.

You may change your address on file with Mercury Marine at any time, including at the time of a warranty claim by calling, mailing, or faxing your name, previous address, new address, and engine serial number to the Mercury Marine Warranty Registration Department. Your dealer can also process this change of information.

At Mercury Marine, every engine is operated and tested before it is boxed for shipment to make sure the product is ready for use. Certain products are tested in a controlled and monitored environment, for up to approximately 10 hours of run time, to verify and make a record of compliance with applicable standards and regulations. All Mercury Marine product, sold as new, receives the applicable Mercury Marine Limited Warranty coverage, whether the engine participated in one of the required test programs described above or not.

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 Boat Safety Act be required. For Mercury Marine’s Privacy Policy, visit: www.mercurymarine.com/privacy‑policy/
