I tore the hell out of my Fortrex in a fence at Falcon. Used the hammered finish spray paint and it actually came out really well.

I wonder why one of the manufacturers doesn’t put something like Line-X on their motor especially the saltwater models.i would think they probably have tried it.

After having water intrusion and getting that fixed. i went a step farther and put two coats of the spray on flex seal. Turned out well and has held up good.
Even covered the transducer clamps.. Tape off anything u don't want covered.

I cant think of any reason to touch it up, much less paint it with anything special.

Scraping is rac....oh wait, we're fishing. My Ultrex has a few scratches on it. They're reminders for what I should and shouldn't be doing.
