Understand, I am NOT an outboard mechanic nor do I pretend to know everything about them. But another thing to consider is the rpms of the engine. I know that it used to be that when engine rpms went above a certain speed the impeller was designed to stop working because the speed of the boat thru the water forced water into the engine water pick up and through the engine without the use of a pump. I do NOT know if that's still the case, or if it's the case for your particular engine, but it might be worth considering.
Another thing to look at is are you sure that your impeller is facing in the correct direction? It's very easy to install them backwards, and since you say your engine was running backwards perhaps it got flipped?
