Mercury – Decal Set | Cowling Graphics Kit | Marine-Grade Adhesive | 8M0170753

Overview

There’s something special about giving new life to a small Mercury outboard. These little engines spend their days pushing skiffs, dinghies, tenders, and jon boats through quiet backwaters and choppy coastal runs. Over time, the decals can fade, peel, or simply lose their shine—but the engine underneath is still ready to work. With the Mercury 8M0170753 Decal Set, you can refresh your 2–3.5hp carbureted outboard with the same crisp, factory-correct look it had the day it came off the showroom floor. It’s a small upgrade that brings back pride every time you look over your shoulder and see that clean, bold Mercury wordmark standing tall again.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Decals may not affect horsepower, but they absolutely affect how your engine feels to use. This set restores a tight, clean appearance that makes even an older outboard look well cared for. The marine adhesive bonds securely to the cowling so the decals hold up through sun, spray, and frequent handling. Installation is straightforward—you’ll feel the decals lay down smoothly as you work them into place, giving your outboard an instant visual upgrade.

Beyond the aesthetics, the warning and maintenance decals serve a real purpose. They keep essential information right where you need it, helping you stay ahead on care and ensuring anyone using the engine knows how it’s meant to be handled. The included horsepower decals let you choose the correct rating for your specific model, giving you a polished and accurate finish.
