Did you check the fuel cooler that is between the sea pump and engine oil cooler?

Have you checked this ? Drive and transom changed . Is the 1 1/4 line from transom new as well. Was this issue there before all this took place?

To be honest im not sure where this fresh water flush system is. I have never used it, and im not 100% sure what to be looking for there. The drives are both brand new with maybe 1hr run time on them. The port side had the problem before I had put the new drive on. I figured I would have found it a lot easier, but its been an on going summer killer for me.

When you cleaned the strainers, was there anything in them?
You replaced the sensor as well as the impeller and the housing, which none fixed it so the problem is most likely a "clog" in the system somewhere, IMO.
Maybe try removing the water line coming from the drive into the sea strainer and put the water hose in it and check to see if the water flow that comes out of the drive is similar on each side....if it is than the problem isnt on that side of the system.
