    Has mercury changed it to what you see in the picture or is that an option you can upgrade to? The ad looks to be an advertisement for a new engine not updated parts?

    I figured there would be a huge roll out for a new engine. My feeling here is Mercury made these intake covers because they had an issue where someone used those slots as a handle and it cut there fingers and there was litigation on it. I figure this is the response to that. I like the looks of it. The v8 is just for bling.

    I did know about the V8 decal coming (it's been there long enough it's in the Parts Catalog). Part# 8M0214842.

    Like many of the Running Changes to any particular engine model, the "Louvers" pictured have not yet made it into the Parts Catalog as of today's date.

    The 450R used a type of air inlet louver, but it's not the same as pictured. I'll try to make a note to check back on it around the end of November.

    We will have the V8 Decals here in a week or so. Contact Rhonda to order (see her info at the top of the Forum).

    For the vents- I would recommend holding off until after Thanksgiving (approximately). They should be readily available to you in short order after that.

    Is the V8 a flat decal sticker or a raised/domed medallion type?

    I wonder if the vents have anything to do with the letter Merc sent out about not sticking your fingers in the vents?
