When I made some welding repairs to a transom clamp and an exhaust port, I used a citrus-based paint stripper. At first it didn’t seem like it was doing anything, so I covered the area with cling wrap and left it overnight. I couldn’t believe what an awesome job it did at lifting the paint.
I have a chronic illness that saps my energy, so I’m looking for an easy way to spruce up my motors. I just got my 1st motor running after doing just about every “regular maintenance” operation I could think of. I’m eager to go for a boat ride, but eventually I’d like to repaint the cover and replace the decals.
You can see my FD-10 is scratched and paint worn off on the corners, etc.
Thanks for your insights!
