I recently purchased a 2003 5hp 2 stroke with almost no hours on it. I am guessing I destroyed the impeller when I was playing with it to get it started. I did not have it in water. I have now replaced only the impeller because everthing had so few hours. I have had it in water well above the intake and it blows air really well but no water. I have pulled it apart once and some of the impeller blades were backwards. I think I did this when installing the lower unit. I think I reversed the shaft direction playing with it. I reinstalled the impeller and was VERY careful. I now get a stronger stream of air but no water. I have the lower unit in the water almost to the shifter connection access plug. I don't know where it would even get air.
When I originally took it apart, I did not find enough parts to account for all of the impeller pieces.
Any ideas?
