The pulley and shaft seemed to wiggle inside the pump housing and everything else seemed secured so I pulled the pump back out. With the impeller removed there is a great deal of play in the shaft. Should the shaft be pretty constrained in the housing without the impeller in?

I found the hose input connection on the port side by the washdown outlets and connected the hose along with a pressure-...
