Hole in 6060.

[glenns]

Roger,

I cleaned my 6060 last night, and I noticed a hole at the front of the unit. It is on the top of the main pump just behind the propellor cover. If you look at the unit from the front, it is on the left side. I don't recall seeing it before. The pump was not dropped, so I don't know how it got there, other than it is part of the design. I cannot find a picture to confirm it is part of the design. I can see light from the holes on the back, so I guess it is not hurting anything. Is this supposed to be there, or did it some how break?

Thanks.

It is supposed to be their, it lets air out of the pumps void space to prevent bouyancy.

Should streams be cleaned in a diluted vinegar bath too?

Yes, 50/50.
