Hi All,



I have an 86 OMC Cobra drive in my boat. Last year I wired brushed the
drive, painted it with primer and then with antifouling paint. At the end
of the season pulled the boat out of the water to find all of the paint off
the drive. I did prepare the drive according to manufacturers directions.
Is there a better paint for out drives then the primer and then anti fouling
drive paint scheme? I was hoping for epoxy paint that I could use as the
primer and then the normal out drive antifouling paint. I do not really
mind the cost as much as the bare aluminum in the salt water. I am open to
all suggestions.



Thanks

Mark.



p.s. I prepared the drive by wire brushing the crud off the drive then
washed with dishwashing soap. Let dry for 24 hrs then painted with primer,
dry for 24hrs then painted with the antifouling paint.
