Did you ever replace impellors?

At least a minor prob and you were at home docks.

I heard there was water going everywhere. Did the housing break?

Another bad design by Mercury. I know 4 people this year alone that have had a cracked sea water pump.
They need to go back to the cast Iron ones, mine are 20 years old (knock on wood) and still working.
Glad it was something simple Bob. See ya on the water.
