The dullness comes from mineral deposits in the water. When the boat is on plane, the top portion of the sterndrive is out of the water. As the water evaporates from the top of the sterndrive, it leaves behind mineral deposits. You can remove them by using a liquid cleaner for bathroom tub and tile, followed by a coat of wax to help protect the surface.
