New power steering pump

[mjdh_80]

Does anyone know if there is a non marine power steering pump that will replace the pump on a mercruiser 4.3L 205hp? It looks like the pump on several GM engines but there are small differences on all that I've seen. Does anyone know what, if anything, are important differences? I really don't want to spend $400 for a "marine" pump if they're the same thing.
Thank you,
Matt

I seem to have stripped the tensioner bolt hole(?). As I was tightening it, it got loose again (stripped) then some ps fluid started leaking out of that hole.

Been awhile since I paid any attention to a power steering pump, but there's probably enough metal around the hole to repair it with a helicoil for around $10.
