Got the problem

I'm not an engineer but that doesn't look so good.

Hopefully you can track down all the pieces so it doesn't cause you a problem.

There you go. Looks like most of the pieces are right there. Try to match up all of the impeller parts to make sure nothing is floating around in there. Check the housing for wear marks. Hopefully a new impeller and you're all set.

What's the best way to flush it out to be sure no pieces are in there?

Find the hose that comes out of the raw water pump and goes to the oil and/ or power steering cooler. Unhook that hose and on both ends and check it for impeller pieces as well as the coolers. Most of them should be in there.

All fixed!!

The hose you are talking about is trivial at this point, you have a seawater pump mounted on the engine, belt driven, remove that and disassemble, there are 2 larger hoses on the back, mark them and do NOT cross them, If the impellor had lost any of its blades, you will need to remove and back flush the P/S and oil coolers to get any pieces caught there(not a bad idea as you don't know whats been done before) Also are you sure it picks up water thru drive ? my 251 had been converted to a thru hull setup...

That is the whole reason you never NEVER NEVER dry start a Inboard always hook up muffs or back in H2o
