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?

[basshnter]

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.

Sounds great! Thanks! I think it’s a good look.

Watch your mail for a letter from Mercury on this topic in the next few weeks.

I want both the v8 emblem looks good and I already have carbon fiber pro xs stickers with silver out line those vents would go great with my motor.

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?

looks doomed or thicker at least

[EuropeanAM]

Yes.

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

Yes, it's related. There will be another letter going out in the near future.

[mactlman]

Yes.

So is it a flat sticker type decal or a domed/raised one? You said yes to both

[EuropeanAM]

I would BUT... I think we'll have one even better than that soon.
