[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 419719, member: 13702"] All motors have tell tales - if you don't see water flowing testing it on muffs in the backyard then something is definitely wrong. Even if it's flowing I'd still never take the word of a seller and at least inspect it & make sure it's a new impeller (rubber is flexible, not chipped, not stuck in it's installed form for too long after removal etc.) Just the other day this guy put up a post RE: the same https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41468 You don't want that happening away from shore - you certainly don't want that happening while you're running your motor and find out about it after the motor has overheated which is usually the way it goes. Impellers are cheap - but letting a bad one burn out your motor turns your $1,000 great find into a colossal waste of money in the blink of an eye. [/QUOTE]
