    How old is it? Chances are the motor is bad or something is lodged in the impeller

    I was going to guess something stuck in the impeller. I had that happen a few times until I put a screen over the inlet.

    The boat was purchased brand new in August. I'll see if I can find something stuck in there. If not I guess I'll deal with a warranty claim.
