I am always a believer in using OEM parts. I have to replace all pulleys and Seawater pump pulley due to saltwater issues. I have ordered an OEM pump but thinking of going aftermarket specifically for the circulating pump, idler pulley and power steering. Thoughts?

Would help to know what motor.

If you just have rust. Just blast your current pullies and paint them

Hello, I was keeping it vague becuase I was looking for a general answer, but if it helps. I have a 2007 Volvo penta 5.0gxi-gf. There are some parts that I totally get OEM would be better, but some stuff..

The pullies are available from GM industrial motors.

However, depends what is wrong with your current pullies.

New pullies will rust as the issue is the cheap paint

I recommend restore vs replace
