Nothing on the old impeller. Sanded down where it had ground the shaft up and got the impeller to slide on the key and have the water pump attached. Was a bit tricky getting the impeller in the pump, super tight fit.

Making progress thanks everyone

Did you spin the shaft counter clockwise(i think it is CC) while seating the impeller in the cup?

I did. That did the trick!!

Everything is back together....my big question...getting the drive shaft into the middle unit took like 2 minutes. A few jiggles and it slid right on.....if it feels like it fits perfect do I have a decent shot to be good?

About to put it on the muffs. That part was easier than I thought it would be. Got me paranoid lol.

As long as the lower seated up against the upper and the bolts went back in fine, you should be good to go.

Lerd, did you have shifter in neutral when you plugged lower in?
Is the shift shaft in?

I didn’t. Was in neutral and the shaft slid right on (greased) in a minute or two and lined up perfectly, guy at Cajun Outboard made a random comment about forward putting it in reverse if not exactly right. Assume that’s what happened. Gonna bring to shop and land lubber it this weekend.

Don’t quit, crank it and go through the motions or drag it to LC and I will fix it.
Please don’t fish off the bank

Prop is not spinning freely in Neutral. It's in Forward (clicks CW and doesn't move CCW).

Looks like I will give it another shot and drop the lower again in the morning, thanks for the pep talk.

Did you try shoving a wire up the pee tube? I constantly have to unplug mine from mud daubers

Didn’t leave it on long enough to look. Didn’t want to burn the impeller up
