	Burd, Welcome to the world of the marine engine. The water pump on the front of the engine that is just like a automotive is the "circulating" pump. Just like it's counterpart, it handles the flow of water through the engine but since it is not a pump designed for higher suction heads it needs help. The rubber impeller pump is the "raw water" pump that does that. With the positive sution of the rubber impellers, it can suck the lake water from a lower level than the engine. However, because it is rubber, it is a maintenence item. To be on the safe side a lot change the impeller every year. Congrats on getting the boat.
