Sorry for the lack of updates/progress here. Project is still on the to-do list, but I've been getting my sailing fix on other boats and using this one as my floating cottage. (Pied-a-l'eau?)

I removed the impeller from the input shaft, yes. Blocked the water intake externally, on the bottom of the lower unit outside the boat.

Could the existing setup be left in and re-routed or utilized to provide cooling for the motor & controller?

I suppose it could, yes. The challenge will be sealing the shaft, since in this boat at least, it's below the waterline.
I'll be back at this project in August, I figure.
