Performance & Practical Benefits

A good warning decal does more than sit on the cowling—it stands up to real marine conditions. With the 8M0142569, you get a label that stays tight and smooth even after long exposure to sun, freshwater spray, or corrosive salt air. The clarity of the text stays crisp, never bleeding or fading, so the safety information remains easy to read season after season.

Installation is simple and clean. The decal applies evenly without bubbling or lifting, thanks to Mercury’s adhesive formula designed to hold firm through vibration and temperature swings. Once installed, it feels secure and intentional, as if it rolled right off the assembly line. There is something satisfying about restoring the engine’s original appearance—everything aligned, everything where it should be, everything looking well cared for.

Why Buy OEM

With a genuine Mercury Marine decal, you get more than just a sticker. You get the exact size, design, and layout your engine was built with. Aftermarket decals often lose adhesion early, fade quickly, or arrive with slight sizing errors that throw off the clean look of the cowling. OEM decals fit perfectly, last longer, and preserve the professional finish of your outboard. It is the practical choice for boaters who want long-term reliability without fuss.
