Go to Engine FAQs Forum. Do "Outboard won't start".

So motor ran fine before changing impeller and oil. Did changing the impeller happen because the motor over heated? If you pull the spark plugs out can you easily turn the flywheel clockwise?

Do you hear the Solenoid for the starter click? if so, try manually spinning the starter gear up and see if the starter is frozen up. My rude does the same thing, until i whack the starter with a wrench. But not too hard;)
