yes it does come off. Counter clockwise. I used a piece of flat steel pounded into the slot and then I took a cresent wrench to it.

You have some cleaning to do! WTF is up with all the hoseclamps on the cable? Umm maybe a HUGE flathead made for a 1/2" or 3/4" breaker bar, maybe one at Napa

Ya i know its a mess. It sat for the last nine years unattended :(
The hose clamps? I dont fuggin know, It was in a wire loom and then wrapped up in duct tape. Thats not the half of it. They also drilled a hole in the transom to shove the new hi perf cable through ;D. Dont know why.
I do have the 1/2 " drive flat head socket but it just slips off.

I used a piece of stainless flat bar that fits the slot. Put a 16" Crescent wrench, put some pressure CCW, and tap the end of the flatbar with a hammer. That "shocks" it into coming loose. Easier to do before you take the bowl off the pump, or out of the boat.

Well i cant get it off so the guy at our marine shop said just run it. I will replace the bearing and gaskets though ;D
