Re: coupler on back of polaris motor

easiest way is to pull the pump then turn the motor. In order to uncouple the motor you need to unbolt it from the motor mounts. Pulling the pump is quicker and easier on your back.

The pump shoudl have 4 bolts that hold it to the HULL. they shoudl be on each corner of the pump right where the pump meets the back of the hull. The ride plate wont come off until the pump is removed. Some pumps have silicone around the rim so theire a pain. You may want to use a 2x4 to lightly force the pump down. Insert the 2x4 between the pump top and the underneath the step pad area fiberglass. If I remember correctly the ride plate wont come off until the pump is removed. you dont really need to remove the ride plate to remove the pump.

As for the cylinder you can have it re nicasiled unless you gouged it then you need to bore it out and renicasill it.
