Hello, need help with a couple of problems

I have recently bought an engine and noticed while it is ticking over (in a tank of water) that there is no water coming out of the rubber hose. I put the engine in forward gear but still no water. The lower part of the main shaft gets warm, then the higher up the shaft I feel, the hotter it gets. I need advice because I live in Bulgaria and there is no help here whatsoever. If I put it in forward gear and speed up the revs would the water come out then and cool the engine? Any suggestions. Also, after a 15 minute run in neutral I turned the engine off, left it for 5 minutes then tried to restart if but it would not restart. I should mention I have a limited toolbox.

On the top part of the water pump where the rubber hose is, on the metal casing there is a word embossed "flush". There is a large screw there. Can anyone tell me what this is for?

The identification plate on the side of the engine shows:
Model No E100EETM
Ser No B00991395
Outboard Marine Corporation Belgium.

Thanks for your help.
 
Remove lower unit.-----------6 screws ( 3/8" wrench ) and the lower unit comes down.--------You can then see the shift connecter and you take out the one screw.-----Lower unit comes of to inspect the waterpump impeller.
 
thanks for your help but, could you please go through the process step by step.
I am a novice at this type of work.Could you throw any light on my other questions as well
Thanks again,Roy
 
When the motor is running, the water pump should be working.--------The water pump sits on top of the gearbox ( lower unit ) not anywhere on the powerhead.-----First thing to do is install a new impeller !----------follow steps outlined in post #2 -----------After you are done you will say " that was easy "
 
Ask questions before you force anything or are tempted to use a hammer.-----This work is straight forward nuts and bolts.
