I bought a boat recently that has a 2003 50 merc. The seller told me the was a commercial grade motor because it has this "heavy duty" jet water pump that is supposed to "run forever". When I went to buy the boat we hooked up the muffs and it started right up, I thought great, didn't notice if it was pumping water, as it was not ran very long(big mistake on my part).Finally got it into the water last weekend and started to run slowly around the lake. there was a little vibration in the handle (tiller) so I raised the motor to check the prop, and noticed it wasn't venting water. My question is, could I have an obstuction some where, or the impeller is locked up. I checked out the specs on this impeller, it is made of steel, and a very expensive part, $405 on Mercurys' web sight. Any help would be great, hopefully someone can tell me what I can check before I drop the lower unit and check the pump.
