Randy, You probably know all this but just in case.
I don't know if that outdrive has a water pump with a rubber
impeller in it but if it does be very careful to watch the temp
gauge when you first get it into the water. Run the engine but
stay right by the dock. If the boat hasn't been used for a couple
of years the paddles on the impeller in the outdrive could break
off. Running the engine on the water hose doesn't show the self
destruction because of the water pressure from the hose.
If it has come apart make sure you get all the pieces of rubber
out of the water channel in the outdrive. Count them to make
sure. BTDT. Any piece left in there can cause blockage and high
engine temps and require taking the foot off again.

When I put it in the water and give it a good test run, if I
discover
some expensive problem, I will be hard pressed to continue repairs
unless I can find a cheap used part and the install is not too
difficult. That might just be throwing good money after bad.
