I have a 1989 23' Crown Line. Mercruiser 5.7l w/ Alpha 1 R sterndrive.
First question is how often should the water pump in the drive be replaced?
Second question is how much play or wander is acceptable the drive. I seem to have to continually work the wheel to keep the boat on track in slow no wakes and have a considerable walk in the outdrive if you push it side to side while trailered. Just wondering how concerned I should be as I dont have a ton of cash at the moment. - Thank you - Logan
