I am hoping to make it. Ordered a new impeller, some gaskets and thermostat from mercury direct parts .com or something like that. They seemed to have good prices but its been a week and they havent even shipped them yet. Anyone ever use them before?

Got the boat running last weekend from a long hunting season of sitting. It started fine but wasnt circulating water"pissing" so I started tearing her down. Found a mud dober? clogging up the water line, bad gaskets in the water pump and a really old looking thermostat.
