Hi All,
This off-season, I decided to strip the old, hard AF paint from my A1G2 sterndrive and refinish.
In doing that, I have exposed a hole in the upper unit which I can't identify. I can't find any reference to this hole in Manual #14 or anywhere online.
I've tried to clean it out, but it is plugged with aluminum about 1/16in deep. I.e. The hole doesn't appear to go all the way through the case. But it is a perfectly symmetrical, circular hole, suggesting intention.
Can anyone confirm if this some kind of factory vent / weep hole?
Or should I fill it before I repaint?
The 1st photo is for location context. The 2nd is a close-up of the hole.

TIA!
