hey fellas , i have a 70 horse 94 model yamaha and has a crack about the size of a 10 cent piece round at the very bottom of the leg just behind the water intake, it is kinda lifting out,its like a surface flake of metal, and i can see down the crack and cant see anything ,it looks solid behind there, i only puchased the boat 4 months ago and it has got progressivly worse, does anyone know if it is a solid piece or if there is importand parts in there i should be worried about. cheers nick.

It's not just the paint bubbling up is it?

Can you post a piccy,
As said it's either bubbling paint, or some kind of repair comming loose.
Give it a scrape, or rip it off, it ain't doing much at the moment, best see what's behind it and repair it properly.

Could it be an epoxy repair someone did once? Like devcon etc if it makes sense see how easy it is to scratch or dig compared to a known metal portion of the leg. If it is a plastic type repair it will scatch/dig in feel like plastic, well more like plastic than the rest of the leg anyway.
