A number of early sales promotions have kicked off the boat-buying season, and Mercury today announced its latest offering. Mercury's "Get the Best" sales event covers Mercury 4-stroke outboards from 20 to 275 hp, plus select OptiMax models, sold today (Oct. 23) through March 31, 2007. Purchases must be warranty-registered by April 15, 2007.
Customers who purchase a qualifying Merc 4-stroke will receive an additional 3 years of factory-backed, non-declining limited warranty coverage. The coverage is in addition to the current 3-year factory warranty, so customers receive a total of 6 years limited warranty.
The 75 to 250 hp direct-injected OptiMax models, excluding racing engines, will receive an additional 2 years of factory-backed, non-declining limited warranty. That brings the total to 5 years of warranty coverage on OptiMax purchases.
This marks the first time Mercury has offered two warranty promotions in the same calendar year. Jack Malone, Mercury VP of dealer sales, noted: "Typically we offer warranty promotions during the first few months of the calendar year. This year we're going to give the consumer an extra 2 months to purchase an engine under this promotion. We feel that this will help dealers move inventory quickly and give customers more options and flexibility."
