Hello All,
My SLX has developed a water leaf around the thru-hull shaft housing. I pulled it apart to inspect the O-ring and everything but I've encountered a problem...My parts manual shows the thru-hull apparently screwing in to a nut on the exterior of the craft (part # 5431985, 5411174, 5432298 / Polaris Parts Manual 2000 SLX pg. B3) Visual inspection appears to confirm this and there is quite a bit of play in the housing which doesn't seem correct but I can't get it to unscrew. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. My local dealer told me they have encountered this and they normally seal the area up with RTV silicone but there's no way for me to seal it proper or do whatever else needs to be done if I can't get it apart and obviously I don't want to break or damage anything in this area. Thanks for any advice.
