Recently added this beauty to the collection. Placed it on the stand and it fired on the fourth pull. It did not pump any water so shut it down and ordered a new impeller from Iboats. Pulled the lower unit and the impeller looked almost new (no cracks/all tips in place). There was not a keyway on the impeller, but rather a metal "nub" on the drive shaft. Went ahead and replaced the impeller. The copper water line came off with the lower unit. Noticed the sharp end of the copper water line was pointed north and the square end was in the water pump. The bigger motors have the sharp end connected to the pump. Turned it around and attempted to replace the lower unit.
Issues:
1. With the new impeller, I can't rotate the drive shaft with my fingers. It feels too tight. Normal?
2. I can't get the lower unit back on.
What have I screwd up?
thanks for any feedback/suggestions.
