Motor cowling / hood

[radm]

Sold my 140 suzuki with the boat this past spring. Everything was in great shape except for a scratch in the black motor cover which always bugged me. It got there from a friend raising the motor with the butt seat installed at rear of boat. Was happy to get a new pretty black motor on the new rig with NO scratches. Needless to say - was out this weekend, had butt seat in & my son raised motor to get line out o' prop. Yep - new scratch!! Any way to fill, paint or anything to get rid of or hide the scratch?? Even a little bit so my eyes won't zoom right in on it every time I look in that direction? Thanks.

I'd think you could get some matching touch-up paint from the dealer.

BTW - did the same thing tilting my engine, ...

Sometimes a good heavy buffing will work wonders. Occasionally we get customers in the shop with scratches like this that want to make it better but can't afford a new paint job and new decals (which often cost more than the painting) ,. The buffing won'nt remove the scratch, but alot of times it will shine the paint back up and remove that white color that makes it stick out so bad.
