Why Buy OEM

When it comes to parts that live outside the cowl and take a beating from the environment, going OEM is simply the smart move. Mercury’s decals are engineered with the same attention to durability and detail as their mechanical components. They’re designed to fit right, look right and hold up season after season without lifting at the edges. This Mercury Marine part ensures you get a factory-correct replacement—no guessing, no trimming, no hoping generic adhesive will hold.

If a friend asked for advice, you’d probably tell them the same thing: “Stick with OEM and avoid the hassle down the road.”
