Motor base plate corrosion

[Elcano]

Hi,

found this blooming rust spot today. I guess the other three do not look better. Do you please have hints for me how to fix this? Which paints or coverings are you using to prevent rust?

Thank you!

I'm guessing this is one of your engine mounts. How old are they? Maybe the proper solution is to replace them. If you can do the work yourself, it's not terribly expensive, though it's not a simple job.

Yeah it´s the engine mounts. I guess they are 10 years old, but I do not know because we have the boat now for half a year.

I guess my skill set is not yet there to do this by myself. Will check youtube.

Thanks.

Cheers
