[QUOTE="thill, post: 507330, member: 4972"] If the motor worked well before, give it a chance. Some boats, the motor looks high, but it works properly in the water. When greasing the cup, you only need a medium thickness film, not big globs of grease. Grease the impeller well on all sides, and it helps everything go smoother. To help align water tube, use a ratchet strap to lift/hold the lower in place, while you use a long screwdriver, wire or coat hanger to line up the tube, then ratchet the lower up until engaged. Spin the flywheel a little with tension on the ratchet strap, and the driveshaft should go in. The ratchet strap makes life a lot easier. Even if the impeller looks good, swap it out, and double-check the key while in there. I hope it works out well for you. [/QUOTE]
