    Ok, back on the lark again this weekend. I pulled the lower unit again. Took impeller housing off, cleaned it all up. Took the plate off, cleaned all sealant off/under that. I used a different plate (used) that was in good shape just in case there was something I was missing there. Resealed the plate down. New impeller. Made sure the hole from case to water tube was clear. It was and still is. Put it back together, no sealant on the impeller housing at all. Double checked all the bolts, they are seated. Fired it up, runs good, thermostat opens, pumps water for approx. 5 minutes, then gradually less water, then none. Same issue, no difference that I can see at all. This motor runs good, I’d sure like to get it pumping water so I can use it.
