Mercury – Red M-Icon Decal for V6 & V8 Pro XS Outboards | High-Performance Cowling Graphic | Factory-Matched Marine Adhesive | 8M0214840

Overview
If you run a Pro XS, you already know it’s more than just an engine — it’s a personality. Sharp throttle response, clean lift onto plane, that unmistakable punch when you push the control forward. And part of that identity comes from the bold, red Mercury accents that set these motors apart. Over time, though, the one piece that fades fastest is the red M-icon. Sunlight bleaches it, trailering scuffs it and salt spray gradually dulls the color. Replacing that small decal brings back more of the Pro XS attitude than you’d expect. It restores that spark of pride you feel when your engine looks as strong as it performs.

Performance & Practical Benefits
Even though this decal is small, the visual difference is immediate. The bright red M stands out crisply against the black cowling, bringing back that unmistakable Pro XS look. The decal sits smoothly against the surface, hugging curves without bubbling or wrinkling.
The adhesive is formulated for the realities of boating — hours of direct sun, spray at high speeds, the constant vibration of a performance motor and the occasional brush with a dock or trailer guide. Once installed, it stays put. The color stays vibrant season after season, resisting the chalking and peeling that often happens with cheaper alternatives.
And beyond the look, a clean cowling sends a message. Tournament anglers rely on their equipment, and presentation matters whether you’re stepping up to the launch ramp at sunrise or pulling into the marina at dusk. A fresh, factory-correct M-icon completes the identity of the Pro XS, restoring the engine’s sharp, high-performance aesthetic.

Why Buy OEM
There are knockoff decals out there, but they rarely match the true Mercury color. The red is often too bright, too dull or tinted in a way that stands out immediately. Adhesives also vary wildly — many fail after a single season of sun or lift at the edges after a few washdowns. With an OEM decal, you get the exact color formulation Mercury uses at the factory, designed to match perfectly with existing stripes, Pro XS lettering and horsepower badges.
The material holds up in real-world marine environments, not just in the packaging. Choosing genuine Mercury Marine parts means the decal lasts longer, fits correctly and preserves the premium look of your outboard.
