Confirmed water pump/ impeller.

Blew air back thru the engine and water came out. Started the engine, no water and after a few minutes temp alarm.

Just need to wait till next month and take it to someone to fix.....again.

In for a dime, will have them do a full performance evaluation.

Thanks @wspitler, the entire lower unit was submerged up to and including the anode. Here is a photo:

That is barely deep enough. The water pump sits atop the anti-ventilation plate. Impellers have difficulty priming with any air and it looks to me that the impeller itself is only partially submerged in your photo. Water pumps are simple though so easy to change.
