That sounds like your lower unit's blocked. If there was water getting to the impeller then it wouldn't have shredded.

a few things to lool for, make shure the intake is clear up to the inlet of the pump housing,the correct gaskets,and the impellor is installed in the correct direction. hope you are using a manual.it will help.something isn't allowing H2O to enter the pump housing..good luck T

also dont use gasket sealer on WP's use marine grease. Get the right gaskets, it sounds like somethiings blocking the water as other Guys just mentioned.<br />If you cant get a Tech to help you here try themarinedoctor.com

It may help to put the flush muffs onto the lower unit with it removed from the motor and the waterpump off.Lightly grease the muffs to get a better seal (a thin film is all you'll need). Hold the muffs on manually as tight as you can with the water turned on full and see if the pressure will shift any blockage. you'll get awful wet doing it though...
