Outdrive cover - bottom painiting - brijeski@optonline.net - 04-22-2020

[attachment=590][attachment=590]Hi - I've stripped my hull of all the bottom paint but came across a cover for the outdrives (both metal and fiberglass as shown in the picture). Does anyone know what's under it and if I should remove and clean before repainting the hull?  I don't want to open a can of worms but want to make sure I do the right thing.  If so, there's a sealant on the edge & what's used there as well.

Appreciate any advise - thank you!
John

I would remove them and paint everything in there. Just because it is covered doesn't mean nothing will grow in there. I will bet if you use a light and look in you will.see older paint in there.

And I think those are your prop shafts, not out drives, just so you know the correct terminology.
