Does the Pivot Housing have any kind of water sealing purpose?
The drain plug was placed on top of the pivot housing. The drive was then raised pinching it in between the Gimbal Ring causing a crack / small puncture hole on the top of the Pivot Housing.

Thanks

No water sealing purposes, just may have weakened the structure a bit, depending on how bad the crack is. You might try to have it welded up off season.
