Default Outboard Hood Repair

Thanks for the info guys. I think repair is the way to go as the scratches
are not really that bad. I have some mercury paint, clear coat and primer.
i just need to get something to fill the scratch. The boat dealer
recomended marine tex. What kind would I buy though? Their website has a
whole product line.

Thanks again!

Chris

You remind me of her.

Of course Bondo® has many different products and applications, but
that premixed crap they sell in the tube you suggested will crack and
shrink, Just go to any reputable body shop (Maaco don't count) and tell
them you want to fix a 'semi deep scratch" with it, and I promise you'll
get laughed right out of the place. They would suggest "iceing" first,
but alas a rank amateur like you wouldn't know what that means or is.
Sure bondo will work, but it won't last like epoxy, marine tex etcwhich
i've seen shrink/crack too.

When kissing bass you really should stay away from the ones tainted with
mercury.
Its really doing a # on your brain cells.

No bondo in my vehicles or boats, UD
