just got passed down a jetboat and since motor needs rebuild, i need to pull.  Do I need to remove the bell housing  to disconnect the shaft from pump.  There is a small access panel on top of bell housing so dont know if i go thru it to disconnect or will housing come out after removing bolts and saddle bolts.  Thanks for any help you could give me.  jake

thanks mash.  just wasn't sure if i had to remove that bellhousing or if it comes out before disconnecting from pump.
