My brand new 190 has 3 spots where it looks like gel coat chipped and the dealer put paint on it. Should I leave it alone or try to fix with gel coat. Here's a picture of one spot on the swim platform.View attachment 139850
@Ibeflyinhigh ..... these could likely be mold release marks that someone tried to hide. My guess would be at the factory to just get it out the door as no reputable dealer would do this. My dealer had to hound Yamaha but they finally paid to have the rather large (size of a quarter) mole release chip on my new 2020 SX195 repaired. I am glad I "stuck to mu guns" and insisted Yamaha make good. good luck.
