Congrats on finding and fixing the problem. That stream looks like an 18 year old. Next time lube the shaft and pump housing and impellor with dish soap and a little water. Yes the water is suppose to shoot from the hole in front.

I ordered an impeller yesterday and received it today. It's not a Yamaha. It was tough to slide onto the drive shaft and tough to get into the pump housing, but I got er done. This is what it looks like now. Is that spit supposed to be coming out the front?

Allrighty then. Thank you. I guess I'll get er back in the water tomorrow and see what happens - takin it easy for awhile.

OK - funny story. I was so proud of myself for replacing the impeller and getting water circulating again. I put the boat in the water just now and it won't go into gear. I was off the trailer and floating. I put it in reverse and it wouldn't back up. I put it in forward and it wouldn't go back onto the trailer. I had to get out and pull it onto the trailer with a rope. Now it's back home. Is it possible to put the lower unit on the motor and not get the drive shaft into the correct place??? I can't imagine what else is going on.

You'll soon find the answer for yourself that's it's yup.

"Is it possible to put the lower unit on the motor and not get the drive shaft into the correct place???"

probably not the drive shaft, but the shift shaft missed so no way to get it out of neutral

Yep - That's what it was. Easy, fast job this morning and it's in the water and running forward and reverse and spittin water. Yay. Thanks all!
