Just to finish this thread,
I did get the seawater pump installed, cleaned out the hoses and ran antifreeze thru everything.
All is well, thanx for the input.

You might want to get a spare impeller to keep on hand. I keep a spare impeller as well as a complete sea pump on the boat. You will need it sooner or later. Like mentioned above, they will go out without notice and if your prepared it's only 30 minutes to an hour and your back in business. Just saved my buddy as I had a spare. Now he too carries extra's

Done, I bought a spare plastic housing and impeller and will keep it onboard in the future.
