"I have twin 2000 VP 5.0 GL PE
"I have twin 2000 VP 5.0 GL PEFS engines with DP-SM duoProp out drives in my 2000 Larson. One water circulating pump (not the raw water pump) pully has some slop in it and I want to fix it. To this I believe I have to replace the complete pump assembly because the play is in the pump shaft itself. Since these VP engines are a small block chevy, is there any reason why I could not buy and use an automotive pump. The marine pump looks identical to the automotive pump and costs about 4 times more. Is there anything different between the car and boat pump that is not obvious? Any advice and help would be appreciated. Thanks. Jerry"
