Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year outboards,
manufacturers of marine engines must deter-
mine the exhaust emission levels for each en-
gine horsepower family and certify these
outboards with the United States of America
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An
emissions control information label, showing
emission levels and engine specifications,
must be placed on each outboard at the time
of manufacture.

standards. For this reason, the factory proce-
dure for servicing the product must be strictly
followed and, whenever practicable, returned
to the original intent of the design. The re-
sponsibilities listed above are general and in
no way a complete listing of the rules and reg-
ulations pertaining to the EPA requirements
on exhaust emissions for marine products.

The owner/operator is not to, and should not
allow anyone to, modify the engine in any

Tampering with the fuel system to change
horsepower or modify emission levels beyond
factory settings or specifications will void the
product warranty.
