I changed the impeller assembly. Ran it for 5 minutes. Water mists out of the exhaust out but there is no stream of water. The power head is barely warm. What do you think
Thanks for your reply OptsyEagle. She was submerged. Cold start ran for minutes never warmed up. I'll swap the impeller with the rest of the kit and update.
Sounds good. I just picked up a 78 Evinrude 9.9
The 9.5 has been a low profile, torque-y, compact , portable , lightweight (60 lb), RELIABLE outboard.
Thanks to everyone that helped so far.

Zodiac (France) Cadet 3.10 (meters) works out to 10'2"
The manufacturer recommends 15 hp max . Definitely feels under powered.
It's set all the way down. Can't adjust it anymore.

Thanks.
I've moved everything else up front. Swapped the batteries from lead acid to lithium ion to reduce weight (4 sets of 3s14p) for the trolling motor. Just need to measure how much new fuel line I need for the gas tank.
I'll raise the pin one knotch and report back tomorrow. Right now...
