I was removing the grease gun from one of the nipples on the boat side of my 2005, 90 four stroke and the brass nipple broke off. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix? And can i run the boat with the broken nipple? This is the nipple that has a grounding wire attached to it also, does that matter if it is not grounded until it is fixed? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It will work fine with the broke wire and nipple. The nipple can be replaced and the ground hooked back up. Things you should do since it sounds like it is run in salt water and they both help with later corrosion problems.
