Performance & Practical Benefits

A good decal is more than decoration — it is a finishing detail that says you take pride in your equipment. The Redline Red stripes restore that tight, streamlined look that pairs perfectly with the aggressive stance of the Pro XS and Mercury Racing platforms. Once installed, they sit smooth and secure along the lower chaps, resisting peeling, fading, and bubbling thanks to their marine-ready adhesive and UV-stable vinyl.

You will notice how much cleaner the engine line appears when the stripes hug the contours the way Mercury intended. They bring back that “just rigged” feel, the kind that makes walking down the dock a little more satisfying. And with installation taking just a few minutes, this is one of the quickest ways to sharpen up the entire transom.

Why Buy OEM

When it comes to decals, color accuracy and adhesive strength make all the difference. OEM Mercury decals are built to match factory paint codes exactly, and they are engineered to survive the harsh mix of sun, water, heat, and vibration that outboards see daily. Aftermarket stickers might look close, but they rarely hold up or line up the way OEM sets do. With Mercury Marine’s part number 8M0143773, you are getting dependable materials, precise fit, and the long-term reliability that seasoned boaters trust. It is simply the smarter choice if you want your engine looking right the first time — and staying that way.
