Installation Guide

1. Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the engine cowling to remove all wax, grease, and salt deposits. Use a marine-grade degreaser for best results.
2. Sanding: Lightly scuff the application area with fine-grit (400-600 grit) sandpaper to create a smooth, uniform surface that promotes adhesion.
3. Final Cleaning: Wipe the surface with isopropyl alcohol (99%) using a clean, lint-free cloth and allow it to dry completely.
4. Temperature: Perform installation in a controlled environment between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid direct sunlight.
5. Positioning: Carefully peel the decal from its backing. Use low-tack masking tape to temporarily position the decal and ensure correct alignment before applying pressure.
6. Application: Use a plastic squeegee with a soft edge to apply the decal, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
7. Complex Curves: For curved surfaces, gently heat the decal with a heat gun (not exceeding 120°F/49°C) to make it more pliable.
8. Curing: Allow the decal adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before exposing the engine to water or harsh conditions.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm these blue decals will match my engine's original color?

Accurate matching requires verifying your engine's original specifications. Check the engine's serial number and model designation plate for trim level indicators or color codes that signify the original blue finish. You can also consult dealer records or owner documentation. For a definitive check, use the official Mercury Marine Serial Number Guide.

What causes the blue color to fade, and how can I prevent it?

Fading is primarily caused by long-term exposure to UV radiation. This decal set uses UV-resistant inks and a protective lamination to prevent this. To maximize lifespan, regularly clean the decals with a pH-neutral marine detergent, apply a UV protection product designed for vinyl, and cover the engine when not in use.

Is there a risk of the decals peeling or bubbling after installation?

Peeling or bubbling is almost always due to improper surface preparation or installation. Ensure the cowling surface is meticulously cleaned, degreased, and completely dry. Applying decals in the recommended temperature range and using a squeegee to eliminate all air bubbles is critical for a secure, long-lasting bond.
