I am pretty sure the impeller bit the dust after trolling through some sandy areas yesterday, but I just wanted to check and see if there would be any CHANCE that a new prop (Turning Point 2143-2111 w/ slip ring) could cause problems with water intake/outtake? The new prop has a front ring (slip ring) that goes deeper into plastic gearcase than the old OEM prop, but it is a through-prop just like the old one. The tell-tale "pee hole" stopped peeing today on the lake so I came in right away. I have had it out 3 times before this and it worked fine. I tilted the motor up in the water The water is "Speckling" out of the exhaust hole in the prop but not gushing. I even put it in neutral and throttled it up and I could not tell if it was the exhaust spraying residual water out of the prop hole or the pump pumping. Oh, and the the water intake holes on the gearcase were submerged when I was doing this. I have a 30 day warranty on the motor and I just want to make sure it is not due to my error if they try to give me some F.U.D. about the new prop (the only thing I've changed since buying it). Thanks again for any help that you guys can provide.
