    Mercury Product Protection Platinum Coverage question for Don

    Merc 115 serial # 3B156607 I purchased this engine in Feb. 2022. I received by mail an offer for Platinum coverage for up to 5 years with prices. My question is how long are these prices valid ? I don't want to send them money till a few months before my 3 year warranty is about to expire.

    The sooner you get it,the better the price you will get for it. The longer you wait towards the end of your warranty,the more it will cost. It doesn't go into effect until after warranty goes out.

    Also, get with Don and your selling dealer. You will probably get a better price.

    Waiting that long WILL result in an increase in the cost of the plan. Every so many months, they add a surcharge. It is better to get it sooner rather than later. I think the first surcharge is around the 9 month mark form DOS. If you are getting it, DO NOT wait until the end. Like I wrote earlier, get with Don!!!

    As suggested above, it becomes progressively more expensive as time goes on. Both in terms of registration date anniversary, and overall coverage price increases.

    Drop me an email and I'll be glad to provide you with a written quote for Platinum Product Protection (including special BBC member pricing).

    For some reason this function (though there) does not work for me. I've tried multiple email addresses and each one returns the same results (nothing).

    I'll PM the email address to the Original Poster (prefer not to post for all the spam bots to enjoy).

    That's not the problem. Problem is when you click email and send one--- it never arrives.
