I have a two year old Ulterra that is great but a few weeks ago all the paint just started peeling off of the motor/foot. The paint is just flaking off the entire cylinder of the motor. I think it’s just a failure from minnkota painting it but it’s out of warranty. I was looking for advice on the best way to repair this. Think I’m better off just having a Minnkota service shop repaint or repair it or just try spraying it myself???

Just hit it with rustoleum. If a "repair shop" does it they will charge you a ton and it will still peel off in a year.

If it were me... I’d contact my local Minn Kota shop and ask them what they use before trying to re-invent the wheel... and

Rust-Oleum or Krylon appliance epoxy. Stays on as well as anything.

Prep is key. Have it media blasted then use some good two part primer and urethane top coat if you want it to last. Otherwise it will rust will come back and start the flaking cycle over again.
