Got it fixed!!! smile Just for the record and if any one in the future has a similar problem. As it turns out I must have sucked some dirt into it at the boat launch when I was cleaning the boat out at the end of the day. I ended up taking the whole bottom unit off, cleaned it all up and put it back together. When I took the lower unit apart from the motor it had a fair amount of dirty water in it. I guess with the debris inside the pump the seals couldn't get a good seal. Anyway, cleaned it up and seems to work just fine. Thanks everybody for help and suggestions!!!
