the tube to the stuffing box is for
water cooling/lubrication,normally tee'd
into the
raw water just below the anti siphon so water is pumped through it
and the
exhaust,and so as not to flood the engine once stopped.
some stuffing boxes have the same set up but with grease boxes,to force grease into the sterntube and bearings.
