IMPELLER PROBLEMS

I have a 2001 Evinrude 30 hp 4

I have a 2001 Evinrude 30 hp 4 stroke when I start the engine it will spit water out but very little. When I start out the water flow and out put will increase however when I slow down it will cut back to very little. Is it time for me to replace the impeller or will the engine be fine. I have flushed the engine out and with a hose and there is no evidence of dirt that I can see. When I purchased the engine it threw a steam of water 8 feet long but now it is just trickling out. Is it hard to replace if that’s my problem. Any help would be appreciated.
 
"IMHO, If it used to give you

"IMHO, If it used to give you a strong stream, does not now, and that was 6 years ago, time for a new impeller. My boats all have water pressure gauges. You can see a drop in pressure usually within one year! I have to change mine about every two years."
