My gear housing on my 25HP Tohatsu motor has quite a bit of corrosion which I want to remove and repaint. My local boat repairman recommended zinc chromate primer. This seems to be impossible to find here in the Low Country of SC.
I found a gallon of this "zinc like" primer at a local hardware store. However, it's yellow. Do you think the Tohatsu motor housing paint would be able to cover this color? I really don't want to have a yellow gear case housing (not that there's anything wrong with it!)
Would this paint be any better at corrosion resistance than Rust-0leum oil-based protective enamel, since I'm going to cover it with the Tohatsu silver grey paint?
I have cleaned both anodes which are on the engine. Looks like they were never cleaned.
thx
