Installation Guide
-
Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean all application surfaces using a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water with a lint-free cloth. This removes wax, grease, and other contaminants that can prevent proper adhesion.
-
Dry Completely: Allow the surfaces to air dry completely before proceeding. Wiping the surface dry can leave behind lint fibers that will get trapped under the decal.
-
Wet Application (Recommended): For easier and more precise positioning, lightly mist the surface with a solution of water and a few drops of ammonia-free dish soap. This allows you to slide the decal into the perfect position before it sticks.
-
Apply Decal: Carefully peel the decal from its backing paper and apply it to the prepared surface. Take your time to align it correctly, especially if you are not using the wet application method.
-
Squeegee Firmly: Starting from the center and working your way out, use a plastic squeegee to apply firm, even pressure. This action removes trapped water and air bubbles to ensure a seamless bond.
-
Address Bubbles: If any small air bubbles remain after squeegeeing, you can puncture them with a fine pin and gently press the trapped air out with your finger.
-
Curing Time: Allow the decals to cure for at least 24 hours before exposing the boat to water. A heat gun on a low setting can be used sparingly to help the adhesive set faster, especially on curved surfaces and edges.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this will fit my Mercruiser drive?
A: This decal set is designed for Mercruiser Alpha One Generation 1 sterndrives made from 1983 to 1990. To ensure a perfect match, please verify your sterndrive's serial number falls within the range of 6216687 through 0F386995.
Q: Are these decals as durable as the original Mercury ones?
A: Yes, and in many cases, they are more durable. This set is made from a premium, multi-layer marine-grade vinyl with advanced UV inhibitors, making it exceptionally resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling caused by prolonged sun and salt water exposure.
Q: What is the best way to remove old decals before applying these?
A: Gently heat the old decals with a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel them off using a plastic scraper to avoid damaging the surface. Use an adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol to eliminate any remaining residue before cleaning the surface for the new application.
Q: What should I do if an edge of a decal starts to lift after application?
A: Edge lifting typically indicates that the surface was not sufficiently cleaned before application. You can attempt to fix it by carefully lifting the edge, cleaning both the surface and the decal's adhesive side with isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, and then reapply with firm pressure.
