Here is a link to a previous discussion with some thoughts on that. Link- https://www.aomci.org/forums/topic/think-twice-about-coating-your-float/
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
July 3, 2026 at 8:35 am #323545Thank you for the info, Will try the float test believe it still floats. Just concern with the little flakes coming off of it. I will just clean it up good ind test in fresh gas to see how it works. Thanks again Bryan.

Got this motor many many years ago. It had lots of issues, including needing the pump seals that Lloyd provides. This summer is the first time I’ve ever had it on a boat. It took a couple days for the seals to break in, I would have to pull the plunger back up, but now they are working great. No Leaks!! Great product. Thanks Lloyd.
