Performance & Practical Benefits

You’ll notice the value of this decal the moment you glance at it between trips. Instead of digging through manuals or guessing at intervals, everything you need is laid out cleanly in one spot. That means less stress, fewer missed service items and a smoother-running engine, especially if your V8 racks up hours quickly.

The adhesive is engineered for real marine conditions—heat, vibration, humidity, long days baking under the sun. It stays secure through cleaning, rinsing and the rough-and-tumble of everyday boating. The text stays sharp and readable, even after a heavy season of salt spray and engine hatch openings.

This decal also helps maintain consistency when multiple people operate the same boat. Whether it’s a family rig, a charter vessel or a commercial workhorse, everyone can stay on the same page about what needs to be done and when. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in long-term reliability.

Why Buy OEM

With something as simple as a decal, it might be tempting to reach for a cheaper aftermarket option. But aftermarket labels rarely match Mercury’s print quality, adhesive strength or layout accuracy. OEM decals like part number 8M0148536 are built to withstand the harsh environment around a marine engine and display the correct service intervals exactly as Mercury intends.

Choosing OEM means you’re getting clarity, precision and long-term durability. It’s a small investment that protects a much bigger one—your V8 FourStroke or Verado engine. When you’re 20 miles out and depending on that powerplant, those details matter.
