I've had it happen a couple of times. Once right after I fired up the motor after replacing the impeller! After tearing it down and putting back together twice with no good results I found the exit nipple was clogged with either salt or sand. Talk about frustrating.

When I had a moored boat I would change water pump every year. Stuff grows inside there cause never get flushed well.

Same thing happened to me.

Was a nice chunk of salt I fished out.
