Default Troubleshooting steam in exhaust

(which is normal when on hose) and was coming from the exhuast too

I have a 94' Mercruise 5.7L V8... I haven't run it in about 3 weeks and
when i started it up today on the hose with the muffs, there was steam
coming from the exhaust. (This has never happened before on the hose)
Also the one exhuast elbow was getting warm... I replaced both manifold
and elbows last year, both exhuast flaps, and the impeller was done about
1 year ago.... Can anyone recommend a trouble shooting list....

Thanks!




Sounds like the impeller is shot. Was there any water coming out the back?
