I just bought a 2000 15hp 2 stroke merc,It only pumps water intermittently and when it does its only a trickle.Does this motor have a thermostat? should I install a new impellar?
 
Do more than the impeller - get a waterpump "kit" - it will contain some other seals and gaskets as well as the impeller.

There are 3 different levels of "kit" available - unless you are absolutely certain of the history of the motor, I would spend the 80 bucks on the kit that includes a new base as well as the pump cover (along with the gaskets, seals and impeller) - then you will know for sure.

And if you are cringing at the price, that is cheap insurance against frying a powerhead.

This motor did not ship from factory with a thermostat but they always run better if you install one (merc probably save 50 cents a motor by not including them).

A thermostat and gasket is about $25 at any Merc dealer.
