7.5 gamefisher overheating

[mcgyver6857]

Well the motor is running, but I think I overheated the lower unit. What parts will I be needing for the water pump? Just an impeller or do i need the complete pump? The motor was running well and then it started smoking from where the lower unit meets the engine and quit. I believe the smoke was coming from the grease used to lubricate the shaft there, hoping I didn't do any damage. Really kinda like the simplicty of the motor just never changed a water pump before any help would be greatly appreciated.
