    Boat engine wrap

    I have a 2003 225 hp that the engine cowling is in rough shape. Do they ever wrap engine covers like the do whole boats?

    There are protective covers you can get for them. I would look into sanding it down and repainting it. There are a few sponsors that do that and make it look better than new with any type of graphic theme you want on it. I've seen some cool ones.

    A vinyl shop will wrap anything. Literally, anything.

    I've been planning on wrapping my cowling from the beginning. The thick stuff used on the front of cars.

    Find a local shop and have it painted and re-decaled…I paint a bunch every year for customers.

    Have you done a clear protective wrap? That would make sense for new motors
