Performance & Practical Benefits

Color might not make your outboard run faster, but it does change how the whole boat feels. The Redline Red Accent Panels add a clean, vivid splash that transforms the look of the engine without overwhelming it. The panels are made from lightweight polycarbonate — strong enough to handle sun, spray, and rough weather, yet thin enough to sit flush against the cowl for a polished finish.

Because the color is factory-painted, you get the same level of consistency Mercury demands from every component they put their name on. No mismatched shades. No uneven coatings. Just a sharp, durable, marine-ready finish that holds up through seasons of exposure.

Installation is straightforward. Most boaters can complete it in about 30 minutes per engine using the included adhesive and placement design. The kit also includes a small bottle of All-In-One Spotless Shine, making it easy to prep the surface so the panels adhere cleanly and look their best.

It’s not just a cosmetic upgrade — it’s a chance to make your engines feel as premium on the outside as they perform on the inside.

Why Buy OEM

With a highly engineered outboard like the Mercury V10 Verado, small details matter. Choosing an OEM accent kit means you’re getting materials, adhesives, and finishes designed specifically for the engine’s contours and marine environment. Aftermarket options may look similar, but they rarely match the fit, longevity, or color consistency of an official Mercury Marine part.

An OEM kit installs cleanly, lasts longer, and protects the look of your investment. It’s the practical, reliable choice for boaters who expect factory-level quality from every component.
