OK...paint it.

It should be isolated from anything else. The only metal parts hanging in the water are the engine bracket with its zinc, and the plug which is bronze and still as good as day 1. Funny though, my bronze through hull with valve has never been grounded either and is perfect. 20 years and counting.

Thanks all. Now I have to go get the trailer, drive to the ramp, haul it, screw the stupid thing in place and put her right back in and bring the trailer back to where i store it. (maybe a short trip to a gas station would be in order too...I'll wait until the tank is near empty)
