Waterpump pulley???

[Heelz23]

Hello, need some advice on replacing this pulley, I believe its the waterpump one but not 100%, skills a little limited. Anyway, please see the pics below and let me know if I need to change this one out. I'm looking to sell the boat and it had not been in the water all Summer and I am guessing this is mostly surface rust but its enough I think if I ran it, it would damage the belt. Some of the other drive belts have some rust but not as bad. Boat only has 32 hours on it, about half in salt water. Hoping I could just take the four screws out and replace it. Its on a 2014 4.3 MPI. Thanks

32 hours total for a 4 year old boat is 8 hours of use a year.

use the boat more often and you wont have the problem. however for now, back off the tensioner, pull the pulley, hit it with a wire brush, then some automotive engine paint

LOL, thats why Im selling it. Actually bought it in June 15 so that was about 16 hours a year, 0 this year Okay, so is the 4 bolts all I need to take out to get the pulley off? The tensioner is the one up by the small oil tank right?

Anyone tell me if all I need to do to get the water pump pulley off is take the 4 small bolts out? Thanks

Break the bolts loose, release the belt tension, remove the bolts and pull off the pulley.
