Performance & Practical Benefits

A decal may seem small, but the right one changes the whole look of your engine. This Mercury decal goes on smooth and stays put, even when your outboard is running hard in choppy water or sitting under the summer sun. The adhesive feels strong and secure the moment it’s applied, and the UV-resistant finish ensures the decal won’t fade or crack after long seasons outdoors.

The result is a cleaner, tighter, more polished engine appearance—one that reflects the care you put into maintaining your boat. Whether you’re fishing inshore flats or cruising offshore, it’s nice to look back at the transom and know everything looks exactly the way Mercury intended.

Why Buy OEM

It can be tempting to save a few dollars with an aftermarket decal, but they rarely hold up. OEM decals use higher-quality materials, stronger adhesives and factory-accurate color matching. They’re designed to endure heat, vibration, water pressure and constant sun exposure.

When you choose a genuine Mercury Marine part, you’re choosing reliability, longevity and a guaranteed perfect fit. It’s the same decal used on new engines—because sometimes doing it right the first time is the easiest way to avoid headaches later.
