Part Number: 8M0228511
Brand: Mercury Marine / Quicksilver
UPC: 678633205835
Type: Vented splash / running cover
Color: Black
Material: Polysoft II (P2) — marine-grade, UV-stabilized, water-resistant
Product Overview
Genuine OEM vented splash cover designed specifically for Mercury 200 HP 3.4L V6 FourStroke outboards. Unlike a storage-only cover, this is a running cover — it features integrated side vents, exhaust port openings, and switch access so it can be used while the engine is operating. Helps protect the engine cowling from UV exposure, water spots, salt spray, scratches, and minor impact during on-water use.
- Genuine Mercury Marine OEM component
- Designed for use while the outboard is running
- Integrated ventilation, exhaust openings, and switch access
- Polysoft II (P2) — breathable, UV-stabilized, water-resistant marine fabric
- Color: Black
- Includes one cover
- Fitment begins at serial number 2B529482 and up
Compatible Applications
- Mercury 200 HP 3.4L V6 FourStroke outboard
- Serial number 2B529482 and up
Fitment Note: This cover is specific to the 200 HP 3.4L V6 cowling configuration. Mercury offers similar vented covers for the 225 HP V6 (8M0228512) and 200 HP inline-six (8M0228513) under different part numbers — those are not in stock at this time. Confirm horsepower, engine architecture (V6), and serial number before ordering.

When to Replace
- Fabric is torn, stretched, or no longer fits securely over the cowling
- Ventilation or exhaust openings are damaged or misaligned
- Cover is badly faded or UV-degraded and no longer provides adequate protection
- Switch access openings are compromised
Installation Notes
- Slide the cover over the engine cowling and align ventilation openings, exhaust areas, and switch access points with the corresponding engine features
- Ensure the cover is fully seated and properly secured before operating the outboard
- Do not use a non-vented storage cover while the engine is running
Parts Desk Insights
The key fitment check is 200 HP + 3.4L V6 + serial 2B529482 and up. Mercury makes similar covers for other engine configurations at these horsepower levels, and they are not interchangeable due to different cowling shapes and vent positions. The most common ordering mistake is customers with a 200 HP inline-six or 225 HP V6 selecting this cover by horsepower alone. Always confirm engine architecture (V6 vs. inline) and serial number before selling.
