I replaced the impeller and in my shop I was just getting a mist out of the telltale, even though it was pumping well when I hooked a drill up to the driveshaft. Is a mist correct for this type of motor? When I’m on the water it’s really tough to see what’s coming out if it’s just a mist. Also, the lower unit above the water line gets super hot. It sizzles the water when I splash it. Any recommendations or ideas? Thanks.

The water pump when working properly is only to cool the leg. Why its getting hot tells me something isnt in place like the water tube.
