So, I rebuilt my Rochester quadrajet carb and cranked my boat for a while before I got it to start (Volvo 431A 4.3 V6). Ran like a top once it got going. Turned it off and started right up again to test it out on the lake. The next day I put the boat in the water and there is a horrible grinding noise and it is hard to start again. It usually grinds and occasionally will catch. Later I notice a crack on the starter housing (see pics). What would cause this and would this be the cause of my grinding starter? Do I need a whole new starter or can I just replace/repair part?
