Performance & Practical Benefits

What makes this kit stand out is how seamless everything feels once it is installed. The panels sit tight and secure, hugging the outboard with a clean, smooth finish that looks like it rolled straight out of the Mercury design studio. The Graphite Gray color brings a calm, refined tone—something that pairs perfectly with both light and dark hull colors.

These panels are built for real-world boating conditions too. Sun, spray, salt, repeated washdowns—they are made to withstand it all. The polycarbonate construction gives you a firm, steady surface, while the marine-grade adhesive keeps the fitment locked in place through thousands of vibrations and long offshore runs. And with the included Spotless Shine sample, you can give the panels a quick touch-up any time you want them looking crisp and new.

Why Buy OEM

When you pick an OEM Mercury Marine part, you are getting more than just a cosmetic upgrade. You are choosing something engineered to match your exact engine, right down to the curvature and color depth. Aftermarket kits may look similar on paper, but the fitment and finish rarely compare. OEM parts last longer, maintain resale value better, and keep your outboard looking truly factory fresh. It is one of those choices you make once and appreciate every time you walk down the dock.
