Installation Guide
-
Clean aThoroughly: Prepare the cowling by cleaning the surface with a marine-grade degreaser to remove all salt, wax, oil, and oxidation.
-
Ensure Ideal Conditions: Make sure the surface is completely dry and at room temperature (65-75°F / 18-24°C) for the best adhesive bond.
-
Position Carefully: Align each decal on the cowling before removing the protective backing paper. The permanent adhesive bonds immediately and is not repositionable.
-
Apply Firm Pressure: Use a plastic squeegee or soft, lint-free cloth to apply the decal, working from the center outward to smooth out any air bubbles.
-
Address Curves: For complex curves, a heat gun or hair dryer on a low setting can be used to gently warm the vinyl, making it more pliable.
-
Allow to Cure: Let the decals cure for at least 24 hours before exposing the engine to water or heavy use to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this fits my engine?
The most reliable method is to check your engine's serial number, which is usually on the engine bracket or transom clamp. Cross-reference this number with the compatible serial number ranges listed in the "Compatible Engine Models" section (e.g., 0T980000–0T999999 for 2-strokes).
What is the difference between this aftermarket set and the OEM version?
Our decals are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards using high-grade, UV-resistant PVC and marine-grade adhesives. They offer a comparable look and durability to original Mercury decals but at a more competitive price point.
How should I care for the decals after installation?
Maintenance is minimal. Simply wash the decals with mild soap and water during regular boat cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers, as these can damage the protective laminate and compromise the adhesive.
What causes air bubbles during installation, and how can I fix them?
Air bubbles typically result from trapping air during application. Most can be prevented by using a squeegee and working from the center outwards. If a bubble persists, you can puncture it with a fine needle and smooth the area down.
How often should these decals be replaced?
With proper care, these decals have an expected service life of 5-7 years in typical marine environments. Factors like intense, prolonged sun exposure and commercial use may shorten this lifespan. Inspect annually for any edge lifting or fading.
