At idle, water sometimes stops pumping. Insalled new impeller kit, same problem. When running on the lake no problem - plenty of cooling. I noticed at idle and not moving the exhaust is not comming out of the back of the prop like it used to, most is comming out just in front of the prop. Ran the motor in a clear bin today so I could get a good look and sure enough the exhaust bubbles are coming out in front of the prop go straight up and get sucked into the water pump intake under the cavitation plate. Pulled the prop tonight and can see no problem. There is no seal (not supposed to be) between the lower unit and the prop, the prop is not damaged and the rest of the lower unit is tight, no oil leaks. I've had this motor for 15 years and never had this problem before.
