    With out seeing a pic its hard to say. Best bet on something like this is to take it to your local dealership and let them handle it.

    My has turned a much lighter blue compared to the upper section, didn't think anything of it though. I am curious what the dealer would do to fix it?

    Re: 225 E-TEC HO lower unit??????(paint)??????? (jhb)

    Do you guys mean to tell me they are replacing your l/u because of the paint job?? If so mine has definetly lightened and discolored. But I had really not put much thought into it.. If this is true who should I call?? I neverreally thought the paint color would affect the performance of the motor or anything... Let me know please...

    How can I get my hands on a discolored lower unit? I could use a spare Lightening gear case.

    Billy, I had dropped my rig off to have a hub on the trailer checked out. They called and asked me if I'd like a new lower unit since the old one was discolored...I didn't ask any questions, just said "Sure"....

    Called the dealer and informed him of what was going on and he told me to bring the boat in and he would replace the gear case!

    Man, if BRP keeps this up, they will go belly up like OMC did. Can't believe they would replace lu for paint. Wish Chevy would give me a new truck every time the paint faided a little.
