Not pumps water fine at idle and lower speed but doesn’t pump out of telle tale at higher speeds. Motor is not getting hot. It’s a 93 mercury 50 hp.

I changed the impeller at end of year last year and have only used it twice since doing that. Do you think it could be something else?

Is there simething that might be partially plugging the pee hose?? Had a similiar issue with a recently purchased 40hp Merc 2stroke. Motor wasnt getting hot but no water in pee hose, impellor just replaced last fall. Ran a wire up the hose but didnt feel any blocks. I took a chance and ran it at wot for just a minute...if it didnt pee I was going to shut it down. Just about at top speed it blew something out the hose and peed like a race horse after that. Must have had a bug or seed stuck in the hose.

It pumps out good at idle and lower speeds it just doesn’t come out of the pee hole when at higher speeds. Wondering it had a blockage somewhere else?
