Looking for the best paint to use on drives in salt water on the east coast. Any info would be great.

West Marine said:Aluminum hulls, outdrives and props require paints such as Vivid, Trilux 33, Trilux Prop and Drive Paint and Alumaspray that do not contain cuprous oxide, which reacts destructively with the aluminum.

I re-read my post and noted I had my "33's" reveresed. - sorryI have had great luck with this process;....
2) Apply two coats of Primocon primer (Interlux). I use a small roller (about 1" dia) for the most part and hit what it can't reach with a brush.
3) Spray 2 coats of Interlux outdrive paint (Trilux 33). I am not sure that the roll-on Trilux (with out the 33) is exactly the same but I have had extremely good luck with the spray, so why change. I use at least 2 cans for the outdrive, housing and cylinders.Mark
