We are having a little salt water intrusion on two of the ball valves on Alera. (1/2 cup or so in the relative bilge compartments). I suspect the valves may just need greasing or possible replacement. I am having her hauled in a few weeks to check out and clean the bottom paint, replace the zincs and grease the Maxprop (I don't think the PO did that when he out her up and I neglected it last year when re re-commissioned her in February). So, I can deal with them then.

Anyone have a similar issue with ball valves and what is the recommended maintenance on them?
