Mercury – Decal Set for 4.6L V8 300HP Verado Outboards | Cowling Restoration Kit | Factory-Matched Marine Graphics | 8M0214853

Overview

There’s a certain admiration that a Verado commands, especially the three hundred horsepower models. They’re strong, smooth and confident — the kind of engines that make long runs feel easy and close-in maneuvering feel effortless. But even the toughest cowling can show its age after enough sun-baked days on the water. Faded numbers, worn edges, peeling stripes — they don’t change how the engine performs, but they do change how the boat feels. This Mercury decal set brings your three hundred horsepower Verado back to its prime. Clean, bold and unmistakably factory-correct, it restores the pride you feel each time you walk up to the boat.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Once installed, the difference is immediate. The bold “300” returns that commanding look the Verado line is known for, the V8 badge adds its unmistakable identity, and the Mercury wordmark ties the whole cowling together with factory precision. The colors are rich and deep, matching the original tone perfectly, and the decals lay down with a smooth, tight bond that looks clean from every angle.

The marine-grade adhesive is designed for real-world boating — long idle hours in the sun, spray blasting across the transom on windy days, and the constant vibration of a V8 pushing a hull onto plane. These decals won’t curl or fade after a season, and they hold strong even after repeated washing and trailering.

Fresh graphics also make the engine look better cared for, which matters more than people realize. Whether you fish hard, cruise regularly or charter clients every week, a clean cowling speaks volumes about how you maintain your boat. And if you ever decide to sell, new decals help the motor stand tall before you even fire it up.

Why Buy OEM

With decals, the small differences matter. Aftermarket sets might look close, but the reds won’t match perfectly, the silver will be slightly off, or the edges won’t line up cleanly on the cowling curves. Genuine Mercury decals eliminate those inconsistencies. They’re built using the exact color specifications, materials and adhesive chemistry as the originals.

Choosing an OEM Mercury Marine part means your decals will last longer, fit better and stay true to the factory look. It’s the most reliable, practical choice for boaters who want their Verado to look as good as it runs.
