There’s no reason you can’t repaint it. Although the plastic parts; head, bottom cover, shaft collar etc, are impregnated color (formed with a white pigment) and should be painted with a “plastic friendly “ product such as Krylon Fusion.
The metal parts, just spray with a product like Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy paint, several coats each and should be good to go.
In the prep on the metal parts I would start with a GREEN scothbrite pad then 220 grit if needed (doubtful). Remember, just a light smooth scuff of the factory finish is all that is needed, clean well with acetone and paint.
The plastic I would just use a RED scothbrite pad (or green if needed) clean with a 80% water-20% isopropyl alcohol and a drop of dawn dish soap solution, drying throughly.
All your trying to do is create a textured surface, dulling the factory shine, for the new paint to adhere to so watch too aggressive sanding.
I’ve painted many similar exterior component products without any issues (but nothing submersible for extended time as a trolling motor would be). However after extended use at worse you'd have to touch up, no big deal.
Take your time, GOOD PREP IS IMPERATIVE and give plenty of drying time.

If you have “excellent “ credit find a credit union (join) or your bank and find your best interest rate. BPS can’t make you finance through their bank but they insist because they get points (percentage (money kick back) on every deal they send to their financial partners, so they make money off your payment.
Interest rates are high right now, and going up so find the lowest rate and make your own deal on length, down payment and interest rate. Go in with your financing set and you’ll be in a stronger bargaining position.
You’ll be much happier!
