Overview

On small outboards, the little details make a big difference. If you’ve ever trailered a portable engine or stored one in a cramped garage, you know how easy it is for orientation labels to peel, fade or get scraped away. And yet, those simple decals matter — they keep your motor safe, upright and treated the way Mercury intended. The Mercury Marine part number 8M0163794 Notice Decal restores that peace of mind. It’s a small replacement, sure, but one that brings your motor back to feeling complete, cared for and ready for the next stretch of water.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Decals might seem minor, but anyone who transports or lifts a smaller outboard knows how valuable correct orientation markings are. The right label prevents oil from draining where it shouldn’t, keeps internal components safe during storage and reduces the chance of accidental damage when loading the motor into a truck bed or boat locker. This Mercury Notice Decal provides a crisp, clear reminder printed exactly as the factory intended.

The adhesive backing is strong enough to handle the realities of marine life — salt spray, sun exposure, humidity and repeated washing. Once applied, it bonds tightly and lies smooth against the surface of your engine cover. Even after seasons of sun and transport, it stays readable and intact, far outperforming generic sticker replacements that fade or peel.

Because this decal is produced to true OEM specifications, the graphics, font, color tone and sizing all match Mercury’s original design. That makes it perfect for restoring a used outboard, replacing a damaged label or keeping your portable setup looking clean and professional. It installs easily: clean the surface, peel, place and press. The result feels seamless, almost like you’ve reset your outboard back to the condition it left the showroom in.

Why Buy OEM

Generic stickers are everywhere, but they don’t hold up the way Mercury’s OEM decals do. Factory-matched labels are printed on high-grade marine film designed to resist cracking, fading and edge lift. With OEM, you’re not guessing about fit, longevity or adhesive strength — you get a decal made specifically for your outboard, in the exact spot Mercury engineered it to be. If another boater asked whether OEM labels matter, the honest answer is yes. They last longer, look better and protect your motor the way the manufacturer intended.
