Just be advised that using steel wool or sos is just like sanding and will take off the anodization

A little CLR or other type of acid should clean those right up. Watch out for the black plastic bits under the nozzles though as the acid will turn them white.
How do your anodes look?

How you treat them will depend, partially, on where you boat. If you boat in fresh water paint is ok but not in salt. I boat in salt and used a scrubble pad to remove the residue you call corrosion. Post your location on your profile so we have an idea what conditions you are boating in. It will also add you to our member map so you can see who's in your area.

Other options;
You could also remove the drive end and powder coat or color anodize it if you have the cash.
Aircraft painting of aluminum.....industrial products.... use alumi-prep to remove oxidation,, alodine to anodize the aluminum, epoxy primer then paint approved for all conditions including saltwater operations.

No but I have owned a lot of aluminum toys, have experience with aircraft painting, powder coating kits, and live in Ontario where they coat the streets in millions of dollars of salt to melt the snow and ice.
We actually spend over $300 per year spraying oil/wax on our vehicles, sealing out salt water so they last more than 10 years.
I like polished aluminum,, so I apply wax once a month and it looks great.,,,,
Anodes are enough to keep corrosion off in fresh water,,, remove them and clean the surface once and a while to make sure the contact is good. (replace when 50% gone)
