How long should it take before water pumps out?

[darrklim2]

Hello,

I have a 30hp 1985 Evinrude. It takes about 3-5 seconds before it starts pumping water out when I first start it. I was wondering if this is normal or if maybe I need to replace the impeller or something. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
