I just recently replace the impeller all the fins were gone now when I run the motor overtime it slows down gets slower and slower. is it possible that all the impeller fins and dibris is in the water tubes and it's making it overheat. How do I tell if this is the problem and how hard is it to clean them? Thanks in advance

What do you mean by slows down ??? the engine speed ??? or the pee stream ??? Have you done anything with the thermostat ??

I just pulled thermostat cover. No thermostat. Pulled water jacket. No debris
