Anyone have an idea what's happening to the paint on my lower unit (2016, 250 h.p.). It's just peeling off. I didn't hit anything or clean it with any caustic chemicals. Is it likely to be a defect in the way the primer was applied? How can I fix it? Thank you!

Not sure why we are not seeing aluminum; I wondered the same thing but thought maybe we are seeing a primer? I'm the original owner of the engine, so no repair has been done previously.

Thanks for the replies. I'll ask the dealer who sold me the engine to take a look. As I mentioned, I bought the engine new, and never had any repairs done to the lower unit.

Not much; just that he's "seen it before" and to bring it in for a touch up. Not warranty work, of course. Did not address the "color" under the paint (rather than just seeing metal), but he has not actually seen the engine yet.

UPDATE--that part of the engine has a plastic cover and the base color of the plastic is yellowish. That's what we are are seeing where the paint has peeled away.
