jaco2 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 the lower unit on my motorguide trolling motor is starting to show signs of corrosion. my plan is to sand down to bare metal, prime with zinc phosphate and repaint white again. looking for recomendations for top coat, i'm think some kind of epoxy paint for longevity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I've used truck bed line paint from Rust Oleum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I've used RustOleum appliance epoxy from the big box hardware stores. Single part and easy enough to have extra at anytime for touch up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmanjj Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I’ve used a zinc chromate primer and then Rustoleum white and so far so good on the scratched areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to repaint the skeg on the TM I just put on my boat today, and was thinking about this very topic earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 The white appliance epoxy only comes in one standard white color, makes the decision and touchup easy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
