Outdrive Powdercoat

[sjenkinsk]

I am pulling my 82 SR225 out of the water to install a fresh engine. Thought I would paint the outdrive while it was out of the water. Any experience out there with powdercoat on the outdrive?

Well, since it'll be going into a 400* degree oven... I'm not sure what rubber seals and such are on the inside. But, I think you'd have to remove everything on the inside and get ALL of the grease out. Otherwise, it'll just run out and ruin the powder.
