Can any help? Vetus stern gear! I have a hose from the prop, going to the top of the weed hatch above the water level, with a stop cock on either end of the hose. When I took the pipe off the top end, I noticed liverpool boats hadn't drilled a hole into the actual weed hatch. There is no way water can flow through the pipe. I don't know how this system is meant to work? I hav e been using the baot for the past 2 years with no ill effect? Is the water mean to flow from the prop out to the weed hatch. Many thanks, colin.
