    250 XS warrenty

    I have a dealer who is certain he can sell me a 250 XS (NOT PRO XS) with a 5 year Mercury warrenty. Is this possible? What is ya'lls understanding of the Pro XS vs. Pro XS warrenty?
    Thanks

    Maybe he means the motor comes with 2 years or 3 years warranty ( I forget which) and then he can get you Merc's extended 2 year warranty for additional coverage?

    No he is telling me it is the same 5 year warrenty on the Pro XS. He even has it on his website. I looked at the Mercury Website on the warrenty page and while it is confusing, I could see it interpreted as a 5 year warrenty. I guess I should just call Mercury.

    Jaco's Marine has it listed on their web site that a 250 XS will come with a five year warranty.

    That's what it says.....

    Mercury DOES NOT offer a 5 year warranty on the XS or RACING versions of the 250.

    There's really no way to know HOW he's offering that....

    I bought a 250 Pro XS PACEMAKER earlier this year that normally only offers a 3 year warranty but it was offered with a 5 year warranty. I called Mercury and was told the last 2 years is mechanical only, no electrical or electronics. Don is this the same as a normal 5 year warranty on a Pro XS?

    You can 5 yrs with the TM LU
    You get 2 yrs with the SM LU

    That is what my dealer told me, this is for applications like the 21ft bullet where the TM is better fit than the Verado LU.

    No sense in comparing the ProXS warranty to this situation. They are different.

    Here's the warranty info.... direct from Mercury's Website:

    250 XS: (Torquemaster)http://www.mercuryracing.com/outboar...50xs/specs.php

    250 SportXS: (Sportmaster) http://www.mercuryracing.com/o...s.php

    Anything additional to these would be a "special deal" that the dealer has arranged.
