Default How to: put a polished finish on lower unit

I have an Imco drive, satin finished lower. Can anybody tell me on how to get a polished finish on the lower. What's involved, and materials. Thanks.

I highly recommend the use of 3m's deburring wheels. I've used them on stainless with excellent results. Start with the "EXL Duburring and Finishing Wheel, 8A-medium" and then finish with the "EXL Deburring and Finishing Wheel, 8S-Fine." After that you'll just have to put a light polish on the surface to finish it.

For more help, you can call 3m direct. 1-800-742-9546

They will have to be clear coated to keep it from corroding.
