still getting water

[paramuir]

OK so i got out for my first ride today on my slt 780, I just recently replaced all the intake hose because there was a hole in one and just thoguht i would do the rest was i was in there. Went for a rdie today and there was still alot of water in the hull afterwards when i pulled the plug.

I have filled the hull before with water and didnt notice any leaks also checked to see if the speedo line was hooked up and it was all good.....any other suggestions of what to do or what to replace.

Thru hull bearing and carrier.

ok someone else mentioned that when i had the water problem first.....hard to replace??? hard to find????? thoughts ...help..

Super easy.

You have to take the 4 long bolts off the pump and unattach all the other stuff to pull drive shaft off (steering cable, cooling tube, etc, loosen the clamps on the bearing carrier and the drive shaft and pump stuff should slide out, after that it's the black canvas type material thing with two worm gear clamps loosen them up and it should just come off. One of the easiest things to get at in the hull.

Look up the service manual on here in the tech section. Should take about an hour to do.
