yeah you have to get the stuff made for lower units or I/O outdrives.  If not the heavy metals used in regular bottom paint will react with aluminum causing  electrolysis that will pit the heck out of the jack plate in no time.  I don't think you need the $40 spray stuff...  I've found it in small cans that you can brush on.
