Mercury – Caution Decal (Multiple Engines) | Safety & Operation Label | Marine Adhesive Vinyl | 8M0161427

Overview

Anyone who’s spent time running a multi-engine boat knows there’s a rhythm to it — a balance between power, control, and awareness. When you’re backing away from a dock or easing into shallow water with several outboards behind you, clear reminders make a difference. The Mercury 8M0161427 Caution Decal may be small, but it plays a role every boater appreciates: helping you stay mindful when things get busy. It’s the kind of detail that blends into the background until the moment you need it, and at that moment you’re glad it’s there. It’s a simple bit of reassurance that only Mercury Marine thinks to provide.

Performance & Practical Benefits

This decal may not spin a prop or cool an engine, but it supports the kind of awareness that keeps a day on the water running smoothly. Multi-engine boats respond differently than single-engine setups. They have more torque, more steering influence, and a little more complexity — especially in tight quarters. Having a clear, factory-specified caution label right where you’ll see it reinforces the habits that protect your equipment and everyone on board.

The material itself is built for the marine environment. It stays put through heat, spray, and constant sun exposure. You won’t find it peeling at the edges or fading into an unreadable blur after a season. The adhesive bonds tight and secure, giving you the same crisp reminder years after installation. And because it’s a genuine Mercury Marine decal, it matches your cowling and rigging exactly — no mismatched colors or cheap aftermarket vinyl that flakes before the season ends.

Installing it is quick and clean. You peel, place, press, and you’re done. No special tools, no need to modify anything, and no worry about compatibility. The decal fits the style and layout Mercury designed for these engines, so everything looks intentional and factory-fresh.

Why Buy OEM

With decals, it’s easy to assume any sticker will do — but most aftermarket versions use cheaper adhesives, inaccurate colors, or thin vinyl that cracks under UV exposure. A genuine Mercury Marine part is built with the same durability standards as the engines it’s meant to label. That means a longer service life, a cleaner appearance, and a decal that stays readable no matter how rough the season gets.

Choosing OEM also ensures the wording, placement, and safety messaging are exactly what the manufacturer intended. When it comes to multi-engine operation, that accuracy matters.
