Ive been getting my boat ready for the summer after storage. ive had it hooked to the water hose clamp while piddling and adjust the carbs and idle. And have had good flow of water through the engine while running. now im just getting steam coming out. have waited up to a minute (half throttle) and only steam is coming out. should i push it and wait longer. or check into a water pump?

Drop the lower unit and inspect/replace the impeller.Have you ever changed it since you have owned the boat? Real easy job with ordinary hand tools. Search impeller replacement for a little help.
