I need to grease the starter on my 351 (boat). How do I clean it, what kind of grease do I put on it, where do I apply it?
Thanks in advance.

I have never heard of doing this. You typically want to keep oils out of the starter. Have you had a rear main go out? Eventually the starter starts dragging from all of the build up.
Greasing the starter is listed in the maintenance schedule in the owners manual

The only place you would grease would be the bendix area, and the first time you crank the engine over it will fly off. My boss still greases the bendix of every starter he installs, his logic is that it will help when it meshes with the flywheel, I just call bullshit and install them dry.

Bullshit. I've never had the bendix or engine fly off after greasing it.
