    Any advice to repair interior liner crack? (with photo)

    I would call Grady White customer service and see what they recommend. See what they say, nothing ventured nothing gained. If you bought the boat new, they may send a team out to fix it.

    Ring Free or not on new engines?

    Concur with KY Grady. I have been using ring free in my engines for years, 3 different boats, 5 engines, current 2007 F250s have 2008 hours on them and (knock on wood) no problems. I recommend you do it religiously.
