Thanks for the help.
OK got it down and replaced Impeller and put back together. Just so I'm sure can you give your advise or general idea when engine is running in water how much water should come out of water discharge outlet? Is a mist ok or should more come out? Thanks

"Retals.... Water should exit

"Retals.... Water should exit the water outlet, that exists about halfway down the exhaust housing, with a strong flow. If you're only getting a mist, you've still got a problem.
