new to all this was my dads. have learned alot in a short time why would the factory send the motor out without a thermostat in the housing? did some motors get thermostast and some not. changing out the water pump/impeller due to no water coming out of exhaust port holes have plenty of exhaust out of trim tab. in the past i remember water spraying out of exhaust holes. i am correct on this right? any help on this would be appreciated

They ALL come with thermostats.It sounds like the impeller needs replacing.
Check the old one for missing vanes.If they are missing look in the pickup tube. J

removed foot. the impeller looks fine(no tears or cracks) replacing anyway
hooked water hose to pickup tube and water exited from the exhaust ports. Motor not clogged. maybe new impeller is all i need. thanks for the help
