I had a similar problem and after pulling the pump from the sump box found that the pump strainer needed to be cleaned. Also worth noting that the pump seems a little under rated for the job, will probably upgrade it in the spring.
On another note.... I joined this thread after I had purchased my 97 270 but before it was delivered. Sadly 3 hrs in, the engine blew- NOT FUN. After a lot of $$ I had a re-manned 496 installed. 130 engine hrs later, we called it a great season, got out of the water the Sat. before Sandy and was tucked away in the high end of the yard for the storm.
