Northern Lights Generator Problem

I went to the boat this weekend and disassembled the hoses and exhaust elbow to the heat exchanger. Indeed, I did find six or seven "fins" from previous impellers.
However, when I put everything back together, it still did not push water through the exhaust thru hull.
I did notice that when I closed the seacock to the lift "muffler", the exhaust pushed water through the above- the-waterline thru hull with tremendous velocity. As soon as the "muffler" seacock was closed, the water ceased to pass through exhaust thru hull.
It seems that the seacock should be left open for normal use, but perhaps I am wrong and it should remain closed.
Am I missing something here?
