Mercury Warranty

Attention all Mercury owners, today I learned that my warranty was cancel by mercury because I had the boat listed on my charter boat web site. No mater that I have run no charters on the boat they said that it was consider commercial and the warranty was voided. But if I was on there program it was ok to do it, I use to be on the program and have only owned nothing but mercurys all my life, what am I supose to do, I was going to repower with a set of 300 verados but now I've got a bad taste in my mouth.

Mercury has had the commercial policy for years, although it has not been fully enforced. Most of the time its a dealer that enforces it or reports it. When the dealer warranty registers the engine it is classified as recreational or commercial.

To me it sounds as if someone made a courtesy call to Mercury to inform them of its intended use

eff them. I had a drive go up very shortly after warranty expired to the tune of 6K repair and only had under 200hrs on an Opti xs 250. They stuck it to me b/c I wasn't "original purchaser and a repeat customer for them". I flipped my lid. Buy with caution... it is a big purchase.
