Mercury – 500hp 3D Rear Decal | V12 SeaPro Series | Marine Adhesive Graphic | 8M0178228

Overview

There’s something unmistakable about a Mercury SeaPro engine working through a long tide change or pushing a heavy boat onto plane without hesitation. That steady, confident power is why so many captains trust the V12 SeaPro, and it’s also why keeping your engine looking sharp matters. The Mercury 8M0178228 500hp 3D Rear Decal restores that clean, authoritative look — the look that tells everyone at the dock exactly what’s driving your boat.

Over time, even the toughest outboards pick up scuffs, wear, and sun fade. Swapping in a fresh OEM decal brings back that crisp factory finish and keeps your engine looking every bit as strong as it runs.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A horsepower badge may seem like a small part of a massive engine, but it plays a big role in your outboard’s finished appearance. This 3D decal fits tightly to the cowl and adds that textured, premium look you expect on a flagship powerplant. The adhesive is strong enough to hold through roaring offshore runs, long days in the sun, and constant exposure to water and salt spray.

Its factory-contoured shape makes the application simple and seamless — once installed, it looks like it came directly off the production line. No peeling edges, no mismatched colors, no flimsy material. You’ll notice the difference every time you walk up to the boat, and so will anyone who fishes or works beside you at the dock.

Why Buy OEM

There’s no substitute for Mercury’s original manufacturing standards:

• Exact shape, color, and 3D texture of the factory decal
• Marine adhesive designed for year-round environmental exposure
• Maintains resale value and authentic appearance
• Long-lasting materials that resist fading and lifting
• Guaranteed fit for the V12 SeaPro cowl design

Aftermarket decals can look “close enough,” but close isn’t what you want on a premium outboard.
