Its shiny shiny… Should I paint it with antifouling ? How should I prep ? I've used Primocon and Trilux with a paintbrush ( aerosol seems too light ) for the the outdrive/ mount in the past. Prepping the small crevices in the transom mount is virtually impossible. I don't want to have paint flake off due to improper prep.

Want to start this off the right way - Boat is docked for 6 months in The Brine.

Thx

what's more important is,why was that transom assembly replaced ? corroded ?
