Mercury – Decal Set for 4.6L V8 200–300HP Pro XS Outboards | High-Performance Cowling Graphic Kit | Factory-Matched Marine Finish | 8M0214858

Overview

Every Pro XS owner knows there’s a certain excitement in running these engines. They’re responsive, athletic and built with the kind of punch you feel the instant you ease the throttle forward. And a big part of that identity comes from the unmistakable Pro XS graphics — those bold red accents and sharp stripes that tell everyone your engine means business. But seasons of sun, trailering, freshwater spray and countless launches eventually wear those decals down. When the color fades or the edges start peeling, the whole engine loses some of its swagger. Installing this Mercury decal set brings it all back. It makes your V8 look proud again — clean, sharp and ready to run.

Performance & Practical Benefits

When these decals go on, your engine instantly looks years younger. The deep black background and vivid red Pro XS branding return to their original sharpness, bringing back the attitude these motors are known for. The stripes run clean along the cowling, emphasizing the performance angles Mercury built into the V8 platform.

The marine adhesive grips tight even under brutal conditions — long days in sun, humid heat, early morning dew, heavy spray at speed and the constant vibration of the V8 under load. Unlike aftermarket decals that bubble or lift after a season, these stay steady and secure.

A restored cowling isn’t just about looks. It reflects the way you care for your equipment. Tournament boaters want their rigs looking tight for competition day. Guides want their engines to present well to clients. Recreational owners simply enjoy that feeling of pride when they see the boat from the dock. And when it comes time to sell, a clean, factory-correct cowling instantly helps the engine stand out.

Why Buy OEM

The difference between OEM and aftermarket becomes obvious the moment you compare them. Aftermarket decals rarely get the red shades right. Edges might not align perfectly. The adhesive might fail during a hot summer or after a few pressure washes.

Genuine Mercury Marine decals, on the other hand, match the exact color formulas, shapes and materials Mercury uses on new Pro XS engines. They’re built to last in real-world marine conditions — not just look good for a short while. If you want your V8 Pro XS to look like it belongs on a tournament-ready rig, OEM decals are the only choice that make sense.
