So I am trying to remove the pump from the boat and have had a hell of a time.

Removed all of the bolts through the transom.
Cut through the silicon the previous owner slopped all over the pump.

But can not get it to pop loose. Am I missing something?

Its a Jacuzzi 

I've got three tubes of the correct sh*t to put it back on with

The pump is out!

There was so much F**kin Silicone we had to take the pump out as one unit because we couldnt seperate the transom cover from the pump.

That was so jimmie rigged I am half expecting to find some duct tape and wire somewhere...oh thats right, the duct tape and wire were on the trailer.

Thanks rwyyattb  for the suggestion...nicked the gel in one spot...easy fix.
