Outboard Colors
Bgreene had a good question for me about the difference in outboard colors from the same company. I have a blue Evenrude not white. Does this mean it is a "freshwater" motor?

mostly to 90% of the stainless bolts in outboards the paint doesn't stick too, so it is peeling off and the nice shine of stainless id showing i'll get ya some pics.

Easiest test is to grab a magnet, the magnet won't stick to stainless. Alot of the issues with the differrent color I believe had to do with bass boats. People with bass boats want an engine with color to it hanging off the transom vs a plain jane white engine.

actually the magnet won't work omc used poor cheap grade stainless and it has enough steel that a magnet will stick to them.
