This technique will work on ANY vehicle that has decals not covered in a clear coat, including boats, trailers, RVs, jetskis and other PWC, cars and trucks
The new Mercury replacement vinyl decals were purchased from AMR Racing at amrracing.com/ - give them a shout for any decals you might need, they can customize just about anything and worked with me when the first set I ordered didn't fit quite right.

Hope you guys like today's boat upgrade! Don't forget to wait 24 - 48 hours after applying your decals before using your boat or applying any kind of protectants. Let me know if you have more decal applying tips :)

Finally got up enough courage to actually apply the new decals on my Mercury 150 XR6 and after much procrastination, I finally got it done and I can take great pride in doing this myself and it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. The main thing for me was doing all the prep work and getting the surface prepared. Once that was done applying the decal was fairly easy. I decided to take the cowling off the motor and move it to a tabletop outside so I could move around the entire outside of the unit. Thanks again for you video on how to accomplish this. I thought I would need to have the cowl repainted, but after the prep work the luster came out so I didn't need to do this at all.

Great job and nice touch on the boat. That looks sooo good. !! Great camera angles for a good view of the work. Very clear.
-
Nice job Dan. Applying decals can be a frustrating adventure. I remember some of the guys at the shop applying decals , always a few choice words thrown in 😀.
-
Best video I have ever watched on applying outboard motor decals!! 👍
-
Good tip on rubber and vinyl coating. I didn't think of that damage possibility. Ordered mine today.
-
Great job and appreciated your humble personality!
-
Looks good Dan!
-
Good Job it does look new you made it look easy
-
I was wondering about this my decals are shot. I'm sold thanks!
-
Awesome thanks!
-
Great job! I suggest trying pure limonene instead of Goo-Gone next time you need to remove an adhesive like this. The active ingredient of Goo-Gone is limonene, but it's diluted with petroleum oils, so it's messy and way less effective.
-
Ya buddy thanks!!!
-
nice job!!
-
Was in the automotive business for many years, you might try some plastic razor blades for removing the decal glue once softened, we used wd-40, and the goo gone as well
-
What works even better for removing the old glue is using contact cleaner. I tried it and it made the job so much easier.
-
Dan, I do not need to replace any decals but if I did this was a great video!
-
Hey Dan, great video! Wondering how hot your heat gun is?
-
Isopropyl works well for devolving decal residue
-
Great video! How do you know if your new decals are wet application or all all of them wet application?
