Mercury – Maintenance Schedule Decal | EFI Series | Vinyl Adhesive | 8M0180070

Anyone who spends enough time on the water knows that an engine runs its best when you keep up with the little things. And sometimes, those “little things” are as simple as having the right reminders right where you need them. The Mercury Maintenance Schedule Decal 8M0180070 brings that sense of order back to your routine—no flipping through manuals, no guessing when the next service is due. It’s the kind of quiet reliability you appreciate when you’re easing down a river at sunrise or running wide-open on a mirror-flat afternoon, knowing your engine is being cared for exactly the way it should be.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A maintenance decal might seem like a small detail, but when you’re the one responsible for keeping your outboard healthy, it becomes something you rely on more than you’d think. This decal sticks tight and smooth, even through long days under the sun, sudden rain, and the constant splash-and-dry cycle of real boating life. You’ll never have to wonder when it’s time for an oil change, a filter swap, or seasonal service—the guidelines are printed clearly and right where your eyes naturally land when you’re prepping the boat.

The benefit is simple but meaningful: better habits lead to a better-running engine. A well-maintained 30-40hp Mercury or 25hp EFI Jet responds cleaner, idles steadier, and holds up longer through tough conditions. When you’re navigating skinny water or working through a winding back channel, that kind of consistency matters. You’ll feel the difference in the smoothness of your throttle response, the confidence of a steady idle, and the absence of surprises during long days on the water.

Installation takes just a few seconds. Peel it, place it, press it flat—and it becomes part of your engine, just as reliable as the hardware it sits beside.

Why Buy OEM

A decal might seem like the kind of thing you could replace with a cheap alternative, but OEM labels are built with purpose. Mercury uses inks, adhesives, and materials engineered specifically for marine environments. They won’t bleach out in the sun or wrinkle when exposed to fuel vapors. More importantly, the service intervals are printed exactly as Mercury intended—no guesswork, no incorrect maintenance notes. When you’re caring for an engine you depend on, accuracy matters. This is the kind of small investment that pays off season after season.
