[Polarissl750]

Just bought a new to me 95 sl750 got it rinning took it to my pond to test it before getting on the big water... couple problems there os a hole in the back by the prop is this suppose to be plugged?? The back end wont come up out of the water and when ibpulled it out ALOT of water came out the hole... when the gas valve is turn pointing forward it runs great till wide open and runs out of fuel if i turn it pointing back it runs so rich it wont hardly move?? Like i said first one and have alot of "dumb" questions lol thank you!

Welcome

Is the drain plug missing from the rear of the hull? The older models had a rubber drain plug that was easy to misplace.

The modern solution is to install a captive drain plug.

This one has a hole on the right side beside the prop swell plug?? Is a hole in the fiberglass the size of a quarter or lil bigger..?

My Sl650 has the same thing and I always use a rubber boat plug you can fine anywhere for under 5 bucks

Hello, I recently just got one of these plugs for my Polaris slx 780 1996, question, Is it just that simple to drill into the hull with those screws? Should I use any sealant after I make the holes for the screws with a drill bit? Didn’t wanna just blindly screw in stuff without researching proper things but not sure what to search honestly.

Yes, use a good below the water line silicone sealant on the screws and around the hole.
