You mean change it because it ran hot or change it because it wasn't peeing on a hose. Do you have a temp or water pressure gauge?

By all means check/replace the impeller, BUT also look closely at your present impeller for any broken vanes that could be clogging your cooling system. You need to account for EVERY piece if any are missing. Also check your pickup section to make sure no seaweed of other debris is clogging water getting to the impeller.

I will destroyer Look for any pieces that may have broken off, it was peeing all day but at the marina nothing, it looked like it wanted to but nothing, I'm thinking the thermostats but the impeller hasn't been changed in about three years Maybe longer
