you might want to check the fitting for the drive water hose, you need to pull the feed hose for the rwp off of the transom fitting remove the 2 -7/16 head screws that attach the black plastic water outlet to the transom plate[behind motor] and inspect the water hose fitting have seen quite a few corrode close restricting water supply

the hose is held in with an internal plastic cone shaped fitting ,that collapses from corrosion , most fountains have a ball valve shutting the water off to the drive when flushing so unless you let the water run before closing the valve your not flushing the transom,just the engine, probably not your problem though if the boats only been in the salt for 1 year
