Mercury – 400HP Rear Decal | V10 Verado Series | Weather-Resistant Marine Film | 8M0204801

Overview

There’s a certain pride that comes with owning a V10 Verado — the kind you feel every time you look back at the transom and see the bold lettering that represents real power. When your outboard is clean, sharp, and wearing its horsepower badge proudly, it sends a message before the engine even turns over. But long days in the sun, salt spray, and constant motion can fade even the toughest decals. This genuine Mercury Marine part brings that crisp, factory-new look right back, restoring the confidence and pride you felt the very first time you fired up your boat.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Even though decals don’t influence horsepower, they influence something just as important — how your engine looks and how you feel about it. This 400 horsepower badge gives your Verado the strong, polished look it deserves. Made from marine-grade material, it stands up to UV rays, hard spray, and constant vibration without losing its shape or color. Once applied, the decal lays flat and smooth, offering that tight, secure finish you expect from a Mercury OEM component.

You’ll notice the difference instantly. The rear of the cowling looks refreshed and complete again, restoring the symmetry and presence Mercury designed into the V10 lineup. Installation feels natural — the backing peels easily, the surface bonds firmly, and the decal settles into place without bubbling when applied correctly. Whether your original badge faded, peeled, or simply needs a professional refresh, this OEM decal gives your outboard the clean, confident identity it should have.

Why Buy OEM

When it comes to decals, precision matters more than most people realize. Aftermarket badges often get the colors slightly wrong, use weak adhesive, or start to bubble and fade after just a few months of use. They may even distort under heat or leave visible edges that never look quite right.

A genuine Mercury Marine part ensures everything matches perfectly — the tones, the metallics, the dimensions, even the gloss level. Mercury engineers these decals to withstand real marine environments, from scorching sun to relentless spray. With factory-matched materials, you’re not just replacing a sticker — you’re restoring the engine’s intended look and long-term durability. It’s the kind of smart, practical advice boaters pass along at the dock: when you want the job done right, go OEM.
