All the parts you can see need to have the paint removed and painted, and some more work possibly mentioned here. -is that stern bracket attached to the stern safe and salvageable if I just strip and repaint again? Same for the shock absorber I guess? They are almost 30 years old. I'm sure it's hard to say judging by a pic. -what's the best way to clean all this up? Grinder? Use a wire brush and strip it all away? -just use a marine paint? Anything special required or better? -my lower drive is half painted now too and is all pitted up. I was planning to just sand it down and repaint, I wasn't planning to do anything about the pitting, but I read some thread about a guy using jb weld product on the Pitts, is that really necessary do you think?
