Unless I'm totally oblivious to that insert, they must have upgraded in 2013. ASFAIK, mine have solid covers with no holes. Now you have me doubting myself and possible nothing bad to say about these jacks......
Actually I made the earlier comment wrt my 2008 Northstar 8.5 Arrow (sold). I had Rex put Reico Titans on instead of the HJ after reading about all the issues.
So I just ran down to the AF990 and checked. It has the same design jacks. The manual drive is under the plastic plug directly above and in line with the main tube.
It is not necessary to remove the powerhead although that is easy to do.
