Well on her maiden (for me) voyage today, she shut down 100 hundred yards from the ramp. I purchased a 14' Lowe with the 7.5 Mercury (Serial# A196682). Well I found out in a hurry that if no water is coming out the 'pee' hole this means water pump or impeller issue. First boat and first motor, I am learning in a hurry. Or at least attempting to. So I figured out how to pull the lower unit. From my understanding the impeller is located down there. After pulling it I do not see a 'star' looking item which is supposed to be the impeller I was told. I have attached two pictures of the unit after pulling. Along with that, is there supposed to oil filling the internal's of the lower unit? If so, there was none. What you see in the picture is exactly how it was when I pulled it. Remember this is all new to me. I also noticed there was no air filter installed either. Being that it shut down I did not try to restart it. Once home I pulled the rope and it pulls very easily, not seized up. What have I done and what guidance can I possibly receive?
Thank you,
