Mercury – 250R Rear Decal | Mercury Racing Series | High-Bond Marine Vinyl | 8M0143774

Overview

There is a certain pride that comes with running a Mercury Racing engine. You feel it every time you throttle up and the boat settles into that smooth, hungry surge only a 250R can deliver. The look of the engine matters just as much as the performance. When the rear decal starts to fade or peel, it dulls the personality of a motor built to stand out. The Mercury 8M0143774 250R Rear Decal restores that bold, unmistakable identity — the clean lettering, the sharp lines, the factory-perfect detail that tells everyone at the ramp that your engine means business. It is a small piece, but it brings back a sense of pride every time you glance at the transom.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A decal might seem minor, but on a Mercury Racing engine, every detail contributes to the clean, high-performance aesthetic the brand is known for. This rear decal installs smooth and steady, settling into place without wrinkles or bubbling when applied correctly. The adhesive grips tight, resisting the constant heat cycles, spray, and vibration that come with long days on the water.

Once installed, you will notice how much sharper the engine looks. The 250R lettering stands out with that confident, polished edge Mercury Racing is known for. It brings back that feeling of stepping onto a freshly rigged boat — everything dialed in, everything intentional. And because it is a genuine Mercury Marine part, you can trust the materials to hold up season after season without peeling, curling, or bleaching out in the sun.

Why Buy OEM

If you want your engine to look the way Mercury designed it, OEM is the way to go. Aftermarket decals rarely match factory colors, and the adhesives often fail when exposed to heat and salt. A genuine Mercury Marine part number 8M0143774 gives you the benefit of exact color matching, long-term durability, and a perfect fit. It is the same design your engine came with originally — no guesswork, no compromise. For a high-performance outboard like the 250R, it is simply the smart, reliable choice.
