My pitot tube port on my lower unit was clogged with mudd from fishing the river and i used a small drill bit to clean out the debris. I was able to blow air through when done but I felt I may have went too deep with the drill bit.

Does anyone know how far back the tube goes before it starts its turn to go up in the lower unit?

If I may have drilled through the tube will water squirt inside my lower unit and mix with the lower unit lube or are there additional walls in the casting to prevent this from happening?

Thanks
