These are collections of adhesive graphics designed for application to the exterior of Yamaha outboard motors. These kits typically include multiple decals that replicate the original factory designs, allowing for restoration or customization of the engine’s appearance. An example would be a set containing the Yamaha logo, model number, and horsepower designation.
The significance lies in their ability to refresh the aesthetic of an outboard motor, addressing issues like fading, scratches, or damage sustained over time. This not only improves the overall look of the boat but can also potentially maintain or even enhance the resale value of the engine. Historically, damaged graphics often necessitated complete repainting, a significantly more expensive and time-consuming process. These provide a cost-effective and readily available alternative.
