Overview

When you spend enough time on the water, you learn that the little things often make the biggest difference in keeping an engine healthy. A simple reminder—something you see every time you tilt the cowling—can save you from forgotten service intervals and the headaches that follow. That is exactly why the Mercury Marine part number 8M0142526 matters. It is not flashy, but it gives you the comforting sense that your engine’s care is always front and center, helping you stay ahead of maintenance so you can stay focused on the good moments: clean runs, smooth mornings, and long weekends on the water.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A maintenance decal might seem like a small detail, but on the water, small details add up fast. This label keeps service tasks clear and visible, helping you avoid skipped oil changes, overdue inspections, or forgotten seasonal checks. The print is crisp and easy to read, even after long exposure to sun, humidity, and the occasional splash.

Because it is an exact match to the factory-installed decal, the fit and finish feel clean and intentional—no crooked edges, mismatched colors, or peeling corners. It lays down smooth and stays put through vibration, temperature swings, and routine washdowns. You will feel the difference in how streamlined and organized your cowling looks, and how confidently you can track your maintenance over a long season of use. When everything is in its place and easy to reference, your whole engine setup just feels more dialed-in.

Why Buy OEM

With an original Mercury Marine decal, you know you are getting the same material, sizing, and durability your outboard was built with. Aftermarket decals often fade early, lose adhesion, or arrive with slight dimensional differences that never quite look right. This one installs cleanly, lasts significantly longer, and fits exactly where it should without trimming or guesswork. It is a small investment that pays off in clarity, reliability, and peace of mind—three things every boater appreciates.
