Re: Merc O/B decal kit ???

Welcome to iboats!! Mercury Parts Express would be a good place to start. Most sign shops that do vinyl lettering can custom cut logos if you have a file for what you want. You can pull the logo from the internet, create a pdf or eps file and give it to the vinyl lettering place. Usually can be done in a day. Or, I took a file for my Mariner, copied it to a piece of Frisket (available at most art supply stores), and cut the logo out with an exacto knife. I painted the background on my motor cowl, put the cut-out letters on the background, masked off the areas I didn't want to spray, shot it with some paint, and voila, a custom Mariner emblem on my motor cowl!

I have a set I would probably sell you. I am re-habbing a 70s era 9.8 and couldn't find any original style decals so I bought a set of current decals for a 9.9. I recently found a set of decals very similar to the originals so I decided to go with them.<br /><br />If you look at a current 9.9, that's the graphics involved. I have the whole set. Let me know and we can try to work something out.

Contact me privately - I'll sell the set to you cheaper than you can get it elsewhere - I have no need for them now so you'll get a good deal, maybe 1/2 retail? Let me know what you think. I just double checked and the set is complete like this:<br /><br />9.9 decal set example <br /><br />dajohnson53@yahoo.com

i have win 150 mercs. one of the decals got wiped out<br />in a storm. tried to buy a matching decal. no luck. mercury only made a generic 150 decal. i took photos of existing decal and measurements. put them in the computer and used coel draw to create copies of decal. gave data to a decal shop and for half the price of mercury marine i got a set of decals which are almost an exact duplicate. took some time but was worth it in the end.
