Any help would be super duper :)

If you don't have other pets or small children, cayenne pepper is the best repellent I have ever used. It has cured stray dogs knocking over the garbage cans, cats wandering onto my property and beating my cat up, raccoons, and other pests.

NO!! Not in the motor, just around it, put a perimeter around the boat, and it should keep them away from the whole thing.
