Thank you for the attached information. I have only had the boat two summers and am still learning alot about it. The boat has only been used on fresh water lakes. I am the second owner. Based on your feedback, I think I will try and find a mechanic that has worked on this motor. I would still like to have the water pump impeller replaced.
I have one additional question. Last Saturday when I picked up the boat from the mechanic, I launched it at a public launch and it shifted into forward and reverse just fine. I drove it a few miles to my cabin. When I went to dock it, I put it in neutral near my dock and when I went to shift it into forward, it did not go into gear. The engine revved as though the throttle speed was increasing but it did not engage. I shifted it into neutral and then reverse. When I shifted it into forward again it worked. Is there something that may need to be adjusted? Is so, can this be done without getting into the engine housing? This is the first time the engine has done this.

Thanks again for your advice.
