Performance & Practical Benefits

What makes this kit stand out is that perfect balance between style and function. The panels are lightweight, yet they settle firmly into place with a tight, secure fit that holds steady through chop, crosswinds, or long weekend runs. The factory-painted finish has a deep, rich tone that looks sharp in full sun and even better at sunrise when the water’s still glassy.

Installation is refreshingly simple. The adhesive lays down clean, the alignment is straightforward, and before you know it, your outboard has a fresh, energized look—like a small performance boat that just came out of a custom shop. Since the panels are polycarbonate, they handle heat, salt, spray, and sun without warping or fading, making them a long-term upgrade rather than a quick accessory.

Why Buy OEM

If you’ve ever tried aftermarket cosmetic parts, you know the gamble. Fitment can be off by a mile, materials rarely last, and the color never seems to match the engine the way you pictured. Mercury OEM parts take all that uncertainty out of the equation. These panels match the engine cowling exactly as they should because they’re designed right alongside the engines themselves. They’re durable, they hold their finish, and they’re engineered to perform in real marine conditions—not just in a catalog. When you choose Mercury, you’re choosing a part that fits right the first time and looks good for the long haul.
