Warranty Guide

Last Updated: December 2025

Mercury Marine Warranty

Every new Mercury outboard motor purchased from MercuryOutboards.ca comes with a comprehensive factory-backed warranty from Mercury Marine. This warranty protects you against defects in materials and workmanship.

Standard Warranty Coverage

• Outboard Motors (Pleasure Use): 3-year limited warranty
• Emission Control System: 5 years or 175 hours of engine use, whichever comes first
• Corrosion Protection: Included for the warranty period when you meet maintenance requirements

Your warranty coverage is factory-backed. Your dealer works directly with Mercury Marine, so you won't need to deal with independent providers or insurance companies.

Warranty Start Date

Your warranty period begins on whichever date comes first:

• The date a retail purchaser first buys the motor
• The date the motor first enters service

Important: Mercury Marine excludes products from warranty 6 years after the date of manufacture, regardless of when purchased.

Warranty Registration

MercuryOutboards.ca handles your warranty registration. After your purchase, MercuryOutboards.ca registers your motor with Mercury Marine on your behalf. You don't need to do anything.

You'll receive confirmation once MercuryOutboards.ca completes your registration.

What's Covered

Mercury Marine will, at its option:

• Repair a defective part
• Replace defective parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured parts
• Refund the purchase price of the product

Warranty repairs cover parts and labour when an authorized Mercury Marine dealer performs the work.
