Default 500efi power steering

Does anyone know a part number for a pully set up that replaces the power steering pump? My boat only calls for one steering pump and my 500efi both have pumps on them so I'm looking to delete one pump. I need the pulley set up in this pic on the right side motor

Just return the fluid to the pump and call it good

Ya. Then tuck a hose into your parts kit that is long enough to reach from the unused pump to the main pump, boom redundant pumps.

Symmetry is sexy anyway.

there all over ebay, its smaller than the ps pulley so you need a different length belt, the bracket will be harder to find than the pulley unless you go to Mercury and pay out the yang for it

I have that PS eliminator set up on one engine, but I don't believe there is a part number on it. I'll double check later.

Try sending a PM to Mbam. He can most likely find it for you also.

I checked and there is no part number on the eliminator bracket that I can see. The bracket has some spacers to get it in alignment with the other pulleys
On mine, the standard adjustable idler pulley is replaced with 4.5" idler pulley and a second 4.5" idler pulley attaches to eliminator bracket.
They are both just composite Dayco idler pulleys.
