Performance & Practical Benefits

When you’re running a machine as advanced as the V12 Verado, every detail counts — even the decals. They help identify horsepower, model type, and safe operation zones, and they keep your engine looking like the premium piece of engineering it is.

This decal set uses a rugged adhesive that stays put even after hours of running under heat and vibration. The finish resists fading from harsh sun exposure and maintains its crisp contrast through years of saltwater spray and regular cleaning. The pieces conform tightly to the cowling curves, so once installed, they look seamless — no lifting at the corners, no bubbling, no mismatched colors.

On a purely practical level, fresh decals also make maintenance easier. Clear labels help technicians navigate your engine faster and ensure everything remains consistent with factory markings. And if you’re ever thinking about resale, a clean set of decals goes a long way toward showing that the engine has been cared for properly.

Why Buy OEM

For something as visible as a decal, matching the exact Mercury styling matters.

Genuine OEM gives you:

• The exact graphic design and color palette used on factory-new V12 Verado engines
• Adhesive built specifically for marine plastics and extreme environments
• A long-lasting finish that resists peeling, fading, and chemical exposure
• Correct sizing and positioning for a precise fit
• The confidence that your engine looks the way Mercury intended

Aftermarket sets might look similar at first glance, but only OEM delivers perfect alignment and durability.
