My starter went out, while removing the starter the neck broke off in the hole, needless to say I had to pull the motor, then remove the flywheel cover and pound the piece out. Anyways, my question is, what is the hole under the starter? It seems like a terrible place to just put a hole for nothing, any water in the hull is getting in there since it is literally 2 inches from the bottom of the hull. The bendix and the flywheel are rusty as hell, which actually made the starter go bad since the bendix was rusted so bad it sometimes didnt engage. So can I seal this up and grease up the bendix so this doesn't happen again?
