    Outdrive paint

    I have a DPS-B drive. What is the recommended paint to use on it. The drive is four years old and clean. The reason I'm asking is that the marina charges $100.00 to paint it after reinstalling it at the begining of the season. Seems a bit stiff. I have to have them do the hull due to E.P.A. regs.
