Mercury – Pro XS Stripe Decals for Lower Chaps | Redline Red Series | Polyvinyl Marine Graphics | 8M0142187

Overview

There is something unmistakable about a Pro XS engine when you spot it across the marina—the stance, the tone, and that sharp streak of Redline Red catching the sun. Those stripes feel like part of the personality of the motor itself, a quiet nod to the speed and power tucked under the cowl. When the originals start to fade, peel, or just lose a bit of their snap, the whole engine can look a little tired. The Mercury Pro XS Stripe Decals 8M0142187 bring that crisp, factory-fresh look back, restoring the bold style these engines are known for.

Performance & Practical Benefits

You notice the decals every time you walk past your boat, and so does everyone else at the ramp. These replacements go on cleanly and settle into place with a tight, secure feel—not flimsy, not thin, just solid enough that you can sense the quality as soon as you peel the backing. The adhesive grips firmly but does not fight you during alignment, which makes installation feel straightforward and steady.

On the water, the decals hold their color even under steady sun, heat, and spray. That means no chalking, no early fading, and none of that curled-edge look that cheaper aftermarket options often develop. They stay smooth against the contour of the lower chaps, giving your engine a clean, sharp line from any angle. For many boaters, simply restoring this small detail brings the whole motor back to life—it feels newer, more intentional, and ready for another season of early launches and long runs.

Why Buy OEM

When you choose OEM decals, you get an exact match—not just in color, but in shape, sheen, and proportions. Aftermarket decals often look close but rarely land perfectly, especially around the distinctive lines of the Pro XS lower chaps. These Mercury Marine decals fit as if they were part of the original mold because they were designed alongside the engine itself.

They also last longer. Proper UV resistance, stronger adhesive, and better materials mean you will not be replacing them every season. If you care about keeping your rig sharp and maintaining the value of your engine, OEM graphics are the practical, long-term choice.
