Thanks, that helps me.
Make sure the hoses are on right. The intake hose (the one that comes from the transom) goes to the top. The hose that goes up to the thermostat is on the bottom.
Take it back apart. If you didn’t find all the broken pieces, they can get sucked back into the pump and ruin the new impeller. Also those pieces can plug up the thermostat housing. While it’s apart, make sure that the old oring got removed. Two o rings will cause this.
The pump might be an older style that has plastic tubes that the hoses slip over. Those tubes are pressed into the metal housing and can get loose. Loose is bad and you will need a new pump.
Use liquid dish soap to lubricant the impeller, it will help it develop suction.
Use a garden hose to back flush the intake hose and make sure that the only place water comes out is the intakes on the drive.
