    Question?

    Since my lower unit has a good bit of scratches, can I buff off the paint and just have the silver look? Probably a dumb question, but I figured I'd ask. The motor is a '06 300 HPDI.

    I thought I saw a pic of where Wayne and guys did just that...

    yeah, thats all we do when we do the lower unit mod. We just leave the section at the top above the cavitation plate painted. I think it looks kind of cool.

    That would look cool on my rig, but how would it hold up in the brackish water of South LA?

    It's a constant chore to keep it looking good. I thought about some kind of clearcoat to prevent it from oxidizing... Some just keep rubbing it with a scotchbrite pad....
