Performance & Practical Benefits

This accent kit may seem simple, but the feeling it delivers is anything but. The fit is tight and secure, thanks to Mercury’s precision-matched design. You will notice it the moment the panels click into place—no wobble, no guessing, just a smooth, confident installation. The polycarbonate feels strong without being bulky, and the factory paint finish settles in seamlessly with the original cowling color.

On the water, the panels hold up to the same challenges your engine sees: sun, salt, spray, constant vibration. They stay steady. They stay bright. And they do it without demanding much from you. A quick wipe with the included Spotless Shine sample brings them right back to showroom clean after a long day in rough chop or a weekend of steady running.

Why Buy OEM

When you choose genuine Mercury Marine parts, you are buying more than a look—you are buying trust. Aftermarket panels often fall short in color accuracy, fitment, or adhesive strength. With OEM, everything lines up the first time, stays put, and lasts. This kit was built to match your outboard exactly, not “close enough.” That difference matters when you want your engine to look as good in five seasons as it does today. And if you have spent enough time on the water, you know that choosing the right parts often saves time, money, and frustration down the line.
