Electric start. Pump housing was in good shape and upper seal was in good shape. I used an OMC impeller. I did seal the base plate against the gearcase aluminum. Everything I typically do when I replace an impeller. This is a Tennessee motor so never is run in cold water. That’s probably why no thermostat. I don’t have a boat to try it on right now so I’ll have to wait to do further testing. I think it will be ok once it’s run on a boat in the lake. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
