Destroyer I'm sorry to say that I'm happy to know you the same exact thing only because I thought I was losing it, that said I'm going to remove the real nice shut off lever valve cause I don't want to do that again

I use a shut off, but I have a 10 foot hose I put between the muffs and the shut off. That way I can loop the hose up over the stern and have the shut off sitting on the gunwale. I get in the boat, turn on the water at the stern, walk up, and start it. Then I can adjust the valve so I don't waste so much water.

I would definitely replace the water pump. Also paint the new impeller with Marvel's Mystery Oil so if you do this again it won't hurt it. But a water pump is cheaper than a motor.
