This is the rudder shaft seal set up. The hose connected to it is for draining air so water can fill the whole seal setup and lubricate the shaft.The connection to the hose is below the waterline so if it slips off water will start leaking in to the boat. The clam securing it being of non stainless is completely corroded and broken. Good we found out.....
