My b-in-law had the same trouble years ago out of his 50hp merc. A mechanic rerouted the water line somehow. I need to look at it again. But as far as it not peeing, it might not be the impeller. Insects will crawl in and make a home out of it. But if you are going to take a look at the impeller, just put a new one in. couple of dollars vs. what could happen and most likely will happen.

A reminder to everyone. No matter what size of motor, do not use a garbage can to supply water. What happens is that the exhaust and peeing water creates air bubbles in the can. When the motor picks up the water, it also picks up the air bubbles. It will still pee, but won't have the water needed to keep it cool. Always use ears.
