Get a new cam plate.
I suggest that the back wear plate also be closely examined for excessive wear as it to will reduce water pumping ability if worn to far.
As far as the replacement pump from A.D. that has proven from all accounts to be a good move. More reliable drive and by the time you get into cam plate replacement and maybe the rear wear plate you may have run the cost up enough to help make the Johnson a whole lot less of a shock.

where are you seeing sharp edges? would there not be cut marks on the impeller blades from the fingers?
