Mercury – Decal Set for 3.4L V6 175HP Pro XS Outboards | Cowling Restoration Kit | Factory-Matched Marine Graphics | 8M0214849

Overview

There’s a certain feeling that comes from running a Pro XS — a little thrill, a little pride, and a whole lot of trust in the power hanging off the transom. But even the strongest engines show their miles after enough long runs, sun-soaked days and late-night trailering sessions. The decals start to fade, the stripes lose their edge, and the motor begins to look more tired than it feels. This Mercury decal set brings that spark back. It’s like giving your outboard a breath of fresh air — restoring the sharp, bold look that made you excited to run it in the first place.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Fresh decals don’t make your motor faster — but they sure make it feel faster. When these graphics go on, everything sharpens. The Pro XS branding jumps back to life, the red accents pop again, and the engine instantly looks newer and more purposeful. The stripes follow the cowling lines with a clean, confident sweep, giving the motor that unmistakable Pro XS attitude.

The marine-grade adhesive plays a big role here. Once you lay the decals down and smooth them across the surface, they settle in with a tight, secure bond. No bubbling, no peeling at the corners, no fading after the first hot summer. These decals are meant to survive the same things your outboard does — hours of sun, heavy spray, long trailer hauls and constant vibration.

If you maintain your engine meticulously, new decals help showcase that care. And if you plan to sell the boat one day, the clean cowling adds lasting value. Most buyers judge the engine long before they hear it run. A crisp, factory-quality decal set tells them everything they need to know.

Why Buy OEM

Factory artwork isn’t something you want to trust to guesswork. Aftermarket decals often look close at first glance, but the colors are never quite right, the proportions are slightly off or the adhesive breaks down too quickly. Mercury’s OEM decals are printed to match the exact color formulas, edges and layout used on the original 175 Pro XS cowling.

Choosing a genuine Mercury Marine part means you get decals that actually last — not ones that fade by mid-season or peel the first time the boat gets washed. If you want your outboard to look like it just rolled off the showroom floor, OEM is the only choice that makes sense.
