Performance & Practical Benefits

While accent panels do not change how your engine performs on the water, they do have a real impact on how your boat feels to you. The Pacific Blue panels add a clean, refined style that stands out without overpowering the design. Because they’re made from marine-grade polycarbonate, they hold up against sun, salt, spray, and the wear that comes from constant movement on the water.

The factory-painted finish ensures the color looks consistent and professional — no mismatched hues, no fading after a season in the elements. Each panel is shaped to contour perfectly to the V10 Verado cowl, giving you a smooth, OEM-quality fit instead of the uneven edges or imperfect adhesives that often come with aftermarket alternatives.

Installation is intentionally simple. With the included adhesive and a bottle of Mercury’s All-In-One Spotless Shine to prep your surfaces, most boaters can complete the job in half an hour. Once in place, the panels add a polished, custom touch that feels like it belongs on a premium outboard — because it does.

This kit doesn’t just change the look of your engine. It elevates the whole presence of your boat on the water.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury’s OEM accent panels are more than decorative. They’re built with the same engineering mindset Mercury applies to its performance parts. That means proper fitment, durable materials, and a finish created to withstand the exact marine environments their engines are designed for.

Aftermarket accent kits might imitate the look, but they rarely match the color quality, adhesion reliability, or precise cowl contours. Choosing OEM ensures your outboard keeps the clean, premium appearance Mercury intended — with no headaches and no compromises.
