Mercury – Silver AMS Decal | Advanced MidSection Identity Badge | Marine-Grade Finish | 8M0146963

Overview

If you’ve spent years running a Mercury outboard, you know the name on the side means something. It tells the world what you trust to carry you through long channels, tough chop and quiet sunrise cruises. When that badge starts to fade or peel, it feels a little like the personality of your engine is slipping away. The Mercury Marine part number 8M0146963 Silver AMS Decal brings that original identity back with a clean, factory-matched look that makes your engine feel whole again the moment you step back and take it in.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Anyone who maintains their boat knows that little things matter. A clean decal isn’t just cosmetic — it’s part of the pride you feel every time you walk down the dock toward your boat. This silver AMS decal has a smooth, dimensional look that feels solid in your hand before you even apply it. The adhesive bonds with a steady firmness, giving you the reassurance that it’s not going anywhere no matter how many miles you run or how much spray your transom sees.

Once it’s on, the decal brings back that crisp, intentional design Mercury is known for. The silver finish looks sharp under sunlight, and the shape lines up perfectly with the curves of the AMS housing. It doesn’t bubble, it doesn’t lift at the corners and it keeps its color through heat, rain and long days offshore. Your outboard ends up looking tighter, cleaner and far closer to the way it looked the day it left the factory. It’s a small upgrade that leaves a big impression, especially for boaters who pay attention to detail.

Why Buy OEM

With decals, just like with mechanical parts, genuine Mercury Marine parts simply perform better. You’ll notice the difference right away: the texture, the depth, the accuracy of the fit. Aftermarket decals often miss the mark — wrong shade, wrong size or adhesives that fail after a season. This OEM badge is built to last and built to match. If you’re giving advice to a fellow boater, the recommendation is easy: stick with the real thing so you only have to do the job once, and your outboard keeps the look it deserves.
