You remove the 4 screws holding the panel on in the left rear pontoon. I hope none of your riv-nuts spin in the fiberglass! To fix the problem you either disassemble the power unit and replace the mast assembly (if you can get a replacement mast assembly) or you just replace the whole unit. If you do replace the whole unit you generally must remove the relay that is behind the driver's seat. While you are in the rear pontoon check the drain /vent hose that comes out of the bottom of the vapor cannister. Make sure it is not plugged up and clean out all of the dirt and debris in the bottom of the pontoon.
