[amsat-bb] Yaesu G-550 KT-550 rotor freezing and jamming

This question is intended for part of the world who have below freezing point WX. I have an elevation rotor the Yeasu G-550 installed up side down but who work 2 winters seasons here. This year he just start to freeze and he stuck under minus 0C temperature?

Just before having to dismantle about 6 beams on the boom did anyone experienced this problem? As it seems this rotor has no draining holes i just think to add one to let the excess humidity to get out of the casing hoping the next above freezing point period will melt the ice build-up allowing water to drain out of the rotor casing.

Thank's for your input before i start drilling in the case...:) "-"
