power steering help

[jeffz0rz]

decided to install the power steering that came with my boat. its a volvo penta power steering pump and it is not lining up. it bolts on no problem, but as you can see, the pulley is way off. do i need a three belt water pump pulley to line everything up ?

What do you mean by came with your boat? Was it just a spare part that came with a used boat you bought, or was it originally on the engine and someone took it off?
I doubt that pump was original to the engine.
What is the model number of your engine.

engine is a marine built small block. i bought the boat stripped, and it came with a lot of extra parts. the pump bolts up no problem, but it seems that i need a three belt pulley ?

Re: power steering help

I once had a Volvo Penta 571A, the powersteering pump was mounted on the same location as yours.

On the circulation pump, there was an extra pulley, mountede "on top" of the 2 groove pulley. This pulley was driving the powersteering pump. Find that pulley and you are ready.

The original VP number is 1219961
