Default Evinrude 18 HP Impeller locationand removal?

Hiya,

Im a boating noob, boat a speedboat less than a week ago went out in it
yesterday and when I got home I was flushing it as advised by the
seller what he told was though to make sure the prop was submerged, I
made sure this was the case he didnt tell me that in fact the water
intake
holes need to be covered, it now starts and runs for about 30 secs
before spluttering to a halt he seems to think the impeller will be
burnt out, could someone please advise how and where it is please and
how to remove it, Ive got some pdf files about these motors but it
dosent really help with the removeal of the impeller, I really no
nothing about engines and the like but are prepared to take anything to
bits (I didnt know what a car was or did a week ago or what points
where LOL), so Im going through a steap learing curve here.
The engine I believe is from the early 70s.

Cheers
Pete
