[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 263466, member: 3278"] Those are drain holes to allow water to escape areas that tend to collect water during normal running. If not there the gearcase would freeze crack in the winter months. Normal area for water to enter your gearcase is through the shift shaft seal. You may as well completely reseal the unit anyway while there. Sounds like you will need to take it apart anyway for the shift issue. [/QUOTE]
