If you are going to trailer it then wire brush it a bit and hit it with a
spray can. If you plan on leaving it in a slip you need to look into the
problem a bit more. Looks like galvanic corrosion from not enough or shot
anodes. If you leave it in a slip and do not have to leave it connected to
shore power I would do that as well. Just hook up the shore power when you
are actually on it. Generally i/o's are not the best choice to be left in
the water, fresh or salt.

I am wanting to purchase a boat and everything looks pretty good
except the outboard. The owner claims he has never had it in salt
water, but it has been in a freshwater slip for at least a year. Take
a look at the picture posted here:

My questions are:
- Is this normal for freshwater?
- If this is professionaly repainted will there be a good chance it
will look good again?
- What might that cost?
.
