I think input that in right and I don't think it moved . Won't the impeller right it's self when turned on I put it in the way it was when I took old one out but maybe whom ever put that one in put it in wrong ?

Sk8man ya I think that's plugged

Iv got a 1983 Evinrude 4.5 hp I'm having issues with it over heating iv replaced impeller and checked the water pump hose for debris and replaced base gasket and head gasket to check for scores in cyclinders bought motor to fix up comp 90 -80 cycl mint sea foamed it thought stuck ring nope the head got so hot I assume cuz the coils have melted on the head mount changed all that an still runs hot going to take motor off again when it cools down any thoughts tho ? .
