Mercury – Rear Wordmark Decal | L4 Verado Series | Vinyl High-Gloss Finish | 8M0024861

Overview

There’s something about a clean, sharp Mercury decal on the back of an outboard that just feels right. It tells anyone passing by that you take pride in your engine, and that you care for your boat the same way you care for your time on the water. When the original decal starts to fade, peel, or lose its shine, it nags at you every time you walk down the docks. The Mercury Marine part 8M0024861 brings that polished, cared-for look back in an instant — the same crisp lettering and high-gloss finish your L4 Verado wore straight from the factory.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A decal might seem like a small thing, but if you’ve owned a boat long enough, you know the little details add up. This Mercury Marine part number 8M0024861 adheres tight and settles into place with a smooth, even look that feels secure from the moment you press it down. The vinyl has a clean stiffness to it — not too thick, not too soft — and the high-gloss clear coat brings out the depth of the lettering in a way that looks new without looking overly shiny.

In real use, that means it holds up through long summers in direct sunlight, regular washdowns, and the occasional bump from a dock line or fender. It resists peeling at the edges, and it won’t cloud or yellow the way cheaper aftermarket decals tend to do. Once installed, you’ll feel a little extra pride each time you walk toward the transom. It’s one of those minor upgrades that makes the entire boat feel more cared for.

Why Buy OEM

If you want your outboard to look exactly the way Mercury intended, this is the only decal that truly matches. Aftermarket versions often look fine in the package, but the fonts are slightly off, the gloss levels don’t match the cowling, or the adhesive gives up after a season in the sun. A factory-matched decal stays put, holds color, and keeps your engine looking sharp over the long haul.

Choosing a genuine Mercury Marine part gives you the confidence that it will fit right, line up correctly, and deliver a clean, OEM appearance without fuss. It’s the practical, long-term choice for any boater who wants their Verado to look as good as it runs.
