I have a 1975 50hp Evinrude motor which I'm thinking about painting. Not the engine or hood just the main part and lower unit. My question is could I paint it while it's on the boat or would I have to remove it? I don't have an engine stand although I'm sure I could build one if I had too. Giving that the motor is rather heavy it might be a little difficult lifting it off the boat and putting it on a stand. Also concerning the lower unit would I have to separate that from the motor and drain the gear oil as well before sanding, priming and painting it? I live in an apartment building and have a terrific space in the parking garage for the boat but space is limited with regards to working on it for this type of project. I'm not sure which way to go with this any suggestions? Thanks
