Sounds like the impeller is worn out.
Not that big a job.
Profile? Location? You might be close to someone who can help.J
PARDON THE WRITING, FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T USE PARAGRAPHS. THE SENTANCE'S ALL RUN TOGETHER !!!Ethanol is messing up a lot .It's delaminating the inside of older hoses causing clogs in the carbs/injectors and fuel filter.
Oh yea DON"T buy any parts from boats . net Worst company on the net.

I thought the same, i'm new to boats, this would happen to be my first, do i'm not to familiar with the outboard, I do know it is pushing water through the impeller though.

Classic symptoms of an old impeller with broken / missing vanes and vanes that have taken a " set " with time. Impellers should be replaced about every 3 years !
