Ok... I took the cone off the pump and notice that is is NOT an anti rattle cone. Would you spend the extra $$ and replace with new anti rattle? Does it really make that much difference? It's a loud boat anyway and I have not noticed a rattle in the pump.
Here is the shaft from the seized impeller beside a good shaft. There was no sign of any thrust bearings. Had to order a new shaft as this one was toast.
