Maybe it is the way the morning light hits the cowling or how the reflections dance across the water. When your outboard looks sharp, you feel a little more dialed-in—like the day is already headed in the right direction. The Mercury 8M0142205 Redline Red Accent Panel Kit brings that feeling back. It gives your V8 FourStroke a bold, custom touch without compromising the clean, factory style Mercury owners appreciate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eRedline Red factory-painted accent panels for a custom, performance-inspired look\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMade from thin, durable polycarbonate for long-term fit and resilience\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDesigned for Mercury 4.6L V8 200–300 horsepower FourStroke outboards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIncludes panels, adhesive, Mercury wordmark, V8 badge, and M-icon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eHorsepower decal sold separately\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEstimated 30-minute installation time per engine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIncludes a 2-ounce sample of Mercury Marine All-In-One Spotless Shine for a clean final finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits Mercury 4.6L V8 200–300 horsepower FourStroke outboards (serial number 2B529482 and up)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIdeal upgrade for center consoles, bay boats, offshore fishing boats, wake vessels, and performance dayboats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eCompatible with both single-engine and multi-engine configurations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Accent panels may be a cosmetic upgrade, but they bring a surprisingly strong sense of pride once installed. The Redline Red detailing adds a crisp, confident pop of color that looks sharp against factory paint—especially when you catch the engine at an angle. You get color harmony that looks like it rolled straight out of Mercury’s design studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFitment is smooth and steady thanks to the lightweight polycarbonate design, which follows the natural curves of your V8 cowling.

Mercury’s OEM panels are factory-painted, meaning the Redline Red hue is the exact shade used on Mercury performance platforms. You get proper alignment, proper tone, and proper durability—no guesswork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eChoosing OEM also means fewer headaches down the line. The panels are matched, tested, and engineered specifically for your V8 FourStroke. They hold up in saltwater, resist UV fading, and maintain a clean look far longer than generic alternatives. If you want an upgrade that looks intentional, OEM is the only way to go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ1: Which engines does the 8M0142205 Accent Panel Kit fit?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e It fits Mercury 4.6L V8 FourStroke outboards rated 200–300 horsepower, serial number 2B529482 and up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ2: What makes these panels better than aftermarket options?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e They are factory-painted, perfectly matched, and designed specifically for Mercury V8 engines—giving you accurate fit and long-term durability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ3: How do I confirm this is the right kit for my outboard?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Check your engine’s model and serial number.
