Mercury – M-Icon Decal (Red) | Pro XS Series | Marine Adhesive Graphic | 8M0178226

Overview

There’s something about a Pro XS outboard that just feels alive, even before you turn the key. It’s the kind of engine that rewards early mornings on the water, long runs across the bay, and those quiet no-wake moments when everything settles and you can hear the hull breathing. Over time, though, even a well-kept engine starts to show a bit of sun fade or wear on its decals. The Mercury 8M0178226 Red M-Icon Decal gives your Pro XS back its sharp, unmistakable identity. It adds that pop of color and factory precision that makes your engine look as strong as it runs.

This isn’t about vanity — it’s about pride. When you care for your engine, you can feel the difference every time you ease the throttle forward.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A decal might seem simple, but boaters know how much visual clarity and clean labeling matter out on the water. This M-Icon isn’t just a logo — it’s part of the engine’s identity. The durable marine adhesive grips tightly to the cowl, keeping the decal secure through long seasons of sun, spray, and quick rinse-downs at the dock.

The design is matched exactly to Mercury’s original graphics, so once installed, you’ll get that smooth, seamless look that blends right into the existing cowl design. No mismatched edges. No off-shade reds. Just the bold Pro XS visual signature that tells everyone your engine means business.

And when your outboard looks good, it feels good getting behind the wheel. Whether you’re launching at dawn or heading in after a long run upriver, that clean cowl reminds you your engine is well cared for — and ready for whatever comes next.

Why Buy OEM

Choosing an OEM Mercury decal means you’re getting:

• The exact color and shape used in the factory
• Long-lasting adhesion that resists salt, sun, and heat
• A graphic that maintains resale value and protects your engine’s professional appearance
• Higher durability than aftermarket decals, which often fade or peel early
• A perfect fit without trimming, stretching, or guesswork

For outboard cosmetics, OEM truly makes all the difference.
