Mercury – Pacific Blue Accent Panel Kit | Custom Outboard Styling | Polycarbonate | 8M0142212

Overview

Every boater knows there’s something special about the way an engine looks as you ease away from the dock in the early morning light. That soft hum, the quick ripple on the water, and the pride you feel when your outboard looks as sharp as it performs. The Mercury Pacific Blue Accent Panel Kit 8M0142212 brings that feeling front and center. It adds a clean, vivid touch of color to your engine—just enough to stand out, without overpowering the sleek lines of the V6 FourStroke.

Performance & Practical Benefits

What sets this kit apart is how naturally it integrates with the cowling. The panels sit tight and secure, giving your outboard a smooth, factory-finished look while adding just the right touch of personality. The polycarbonate material handles harsh sunlight, salt spray, and long weekends on the water without showing wear. You’ll notice how solid everything feels once installed—the edges line up neatly, the adhesive bonds with confidence, and the finished look is clean and intentional.

Whether you’re running across open water or idling past the marina, that deep Pacific Blue catches the eye in a way that feels sporty but not loud. It elevates your engine’s appearance while staying true to the refined Mercury design language. And with the included Spotless Shine sample, you can buff your panels and cowling to a crisp finish after installation.

Why Buy OEM

In the world of cosmetic upgrades, not all parts are created equal. Aftermarket options often fight against the natural contour of the engine, and colors rarely match the way you hoped. Mercury OEM parts are designed alongside the engines themselves, so the fitment is exact and the materials are proven to last. These panels hold up season after season, resisting fading, warping, and cracking. More importantly, they give you the confidence of knowing you’re installing a Mercury Marine part engineered for your specific setup. That peace of mind is worth far more than guessing with a third-party product.
