Pulled the lower unit off, gaskets and impeller inside the pump look good. No water is coming out of the prop area, which I think is the spot where the water is supposed to come out with the hose turned on w/ the muffs on right? If the engine idles for more than a short period overheat alarm goes off. It really seems like the impeller isnt rotating in idle or something. Does anyone have any advice?

"Looks Good" ?? How old?
Pics of the parts, include the wear plate.
Check the thermostat, remove and put in a pan of hot water.

I think most of the exhaust comes out the snout on your motor.
