I recently had an impeller go out while boating. The engine light came on and the motor would not rev up. I got the boat home and replaced the impeller, but now the motor will idle but not come up to high rpm. It kicks and shutters. Is there a reset for overheating? Seems like it's not getting fuel, but I've never had a problem until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
What did the impeller look like when you took it out? Had it disintegrated maybe lodging rubber in the cooling system? How much water is now coming out the tell tale? I wouldn't expect there to be a reset, but the mechanism that puts it into limp mode may have caused a problem too. Is it fuel injected or carbureted?

The key had turned in impeller otherwise wasn't really tore up. Tell tale puts out good stream and I flushed engine when I had lower unit off
