make a long story short. battery was dead on the boat. I pulled it up to the shore and started jumping it. started the boat with the motor out of the water for about 5 mins. yes I know. ive already received the, "are you serious reaction?". took off and shortly after I left the motor died with smoke coming out. I replaced the impeller and water pump housing. the impeller was shredded. but the boat still wont start. I think my shift rod might be misaligned. but the motor wont even turn over. what is the worst case scenario. and don't be gentle. please help. can this be fixed or do I need a new motor. thank you all for the assistance.
