To suck water out of a bucket the engine needs VERY high rpm's in my
experience. I run I excess of 2000 when trying this.

Thanks for your responses. I inspected the impeller after I started it.
There are no missing vanes or cracks. There are no air leaks in the line. I
think water is getting to the pump because the large clear plastic filter in
the line is filled with water. The boat is on the hard. I have the water
intake hose disconnected from the thru hull and in a pail of water about six
inches higher than the pump.
