refinish alpha one, gen one

[Speakrdude]

I am going to repaint one of my older drives that has obviouly neglected, with no anodes that I can find. I am going the whole, Alumi prep, Alodine, Merc. paint route. I have sanded down pretty good and I am considering adding a little filler to smooth out.
My question is, if I were to use a waterproof (bondo) type filler, should I use post or pre Alumiprep or post or pre alodine?

Yeah, the acorns are there. The new torque tab was in the storage under the seat. This boat has a Mercathode module. Where/what does it connect too? Is there an anode for it that mounts to the trim manifold?
