From what I can see it looks like nothing more then paint chipping off and a bit of rust. Without seeing more I would suggest taking a screw driver and see if you can push it in anywhere to check for soft spots

If you're referring to the surface rust, just hit it with a bit of Corroseal rust converter, then paint black over it.

People don't remove outdrives for service and don't care about engine alignment until there is a problem. Therefore never pay attention to motor mounts condition. Next time you do engine alignment you may not be able to turn the nuts there...I have a heavy coat of grease on them rather than paint.
