...has anyone here replaced the couplers that could kind of walk me through the process...

Unless the Octane is different from all other Polaris PWC, there is only one coupler, mounted on the PTO end of the crank shaft.
Edit: And it IS completely different...

The splined drive shaft fits into the coupler, and the other end also has splines, where it drives the impeller.

You will need to remove the jet pump, should be fairly easy. I think the Octane jet pump differs from the standard 148mm modular jet pump used on every 1994-2004 Polaris PWC.

You can download the Service Manual for a larger Polaris (say 2002), which should give you a good idea.

Looks something like the MSX coupler and through hull bearing. Are they similar?

it came with the couplers when i bought it and there are two sep. aluminum pieces. has anyone re done the bulk head bearings and jet pump bearings?

I would talk to the man.

Randy at Watcon.
