What style water pump do you have? Do you have the original system that uses the gearcase housing itself as an impeller housing, with just and aluminum cap over it? Or, do you have the expensive kit set up with the plastic housing and the SS liner and plate? It is important to realize that these two style water pump set ups use different impellers. So, a mix up will probably result in a no pump situation. I guess at this point I would probably pull the gearcase back off, try to blow through the water tube to check for clogs. Is this a salt water engine? Sounds like you were pretty careful and didn’t misalign the water tube, but anything is possible….
