Not going to dispute this...however when I bought a replacement M/C pan for my last inboard it was rubber coated (type of) approx. 1/2 way up the pan.
This was actually a take off for a go fast boat and the dealer at that time had a few that he was selling at a bargain price. So your friend might want to check around and see if any dealers have any take offs around.
