John, That sounds safe. I checked the Interlux Paint Guide and you are on track. Outdrives are aluminum, and my boatyard is 80% powerboats, so I'll ask one of the more knowledgeble skippers what they use on their outdrives. I know a few who really take good care of their boats.

Did a quick search and found the following in their literature. They were the wordsI was looking for. <<While Pacifica Plus can be applied directly to aluminum best results are achieved by priming with InterProtect ® 2000E or Primocon>> I suspect echo is just Pettit’s version of Pacifica as they list the same active ingredients. As Interlux is nice enough to sell this in pints I think I’ll just go that route and not loose any sleep.

Don't think I'd mix Pettit bottom paint w Interlux Primocon on anything. I recommend you contact Interlux or google, "bottom painting saildrive" for other manufacturer's recommendations.

Both have been lightly sanded, washed and then primed with a couple of coats of Primocon (also aerosol). Now I’m having second thoughts. Interlux markets the product as the safest for aluminum but nowhere do they put the magic words “copper/tin free”. My other choice is to brush on Pettit’s Hydrocoat eco which is what I used for the bottom. They are very clear in their brochures that the paint is metal free. I like the idea of the aerosol for the prop but to own a sail drive is to know fear of corrosion. Any thoughts?
