The 59s Johnson and Evinrude have a thermostat in them that is why it takes a short time to get water out unless someone removed it. If you do not know when it was replaced definitely replace the impeller. You will need a power head gasket because it has to come off to get to the shift shaft so the lower unit can be removed. Not hard to do just will need a gasket. My 5.5 Johnson does not look great but always starts, usually on the first pull even if it sets for a year.
