I replaced both the seal under the impeller plate and the seal in the top of the housing. Used 3m 847 for all sealant. I honestly believe this is a problem I created, or with the Johnson lower unit on there. I won’t have a chance to get back to it now until the weekend. I’ll pull it again, clean the water pump housing up. Check the hole behind the water tube receptacle. I do know that was clear, before I put sealant under it. This motor slobbered water like a beast before I switched lower units on it. It has to be something I’ve done since. Maybe I should pull the impeller plate also and clean that up again. I maybe over sealed it. Is it best to seal it around the outside only? I’ll also get a OEM impeller ordered.
