Installation Guide

Proper surface preparation is crucial for a lasting application. Follow these steps for professional results:

1. Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean all application surfaces with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. This removes wax, oxidation, and old adhesive.
2. Dry Completely: Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to dry the area completely. Ensure no residue remains.
3. Use Wet Application Method (Optional): For easier positioning, spray the surface lightly with a solution of water and a few drops of dish soap. This allows you to slide the decal into its final position.
4. Position the Decal: Gradually remove the backing paper and carefully place the decal on the prepared surface.
5. Squeegee Out Bubbles: Use a plastic squeegee to apply firm, even pressure. Work from the center outwards to remove all air and water from underneath the decal.
6. Address Air Bubbles: If any small air bubbles remain, you can puncture them with a fine pin and gently press the air out.
7. Allow to Cure: Let the decal cure for at least 24 hours before exposing it to heavy water spray. A heat gun on a low setting can be used to gently warm the decal and enhance adhesion.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my Mercruiser Alpha One?
A: The surest way is to verify your sterndrive's serial number. This decal set is for Alpha One Generation 1 units with serial numbers from 6216687 to 0F386995. The serial number is typically located on the transom assembly. Our online Serial Number Guide can provide more details.

Q: What's the difference between this decal set and the original OEM version?
A: This aftermarket decal set is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It is made from an enhanced marine-grade vinyl that offers superior resistance to UV rays, salt water, and fading. While it delivers the authentic factory look, its materials are often more durable than the original equipment stickers from the 1980s.

Q: How do I properly apply these decals to avoid bubbles?
A: The key is meticulous surface preparation and using a squeegee. Cleaning the surface with an isopropyl alcohol solution removes any contaminants that could cause lifting. Applying firm pressure with a squeegee from the center outwards will push out most air bubbles during application.

Q: How do I maintain the decals after installation?
A: Once installed, the decals require minimal care. Wash them regularly with mild marine soap and fresh water to remove salt deposits. Avoid using a high-pressure washer directly on the decal edges, as it can cause them to lift.
