Auxiliary Drive Whine

Our A4 has been whining intermittently for over a year, but the sound seems to be getting louder and more persistent. Pretty sure it is the auxiliary drive bushing. Is this likely to seize up, or can this be put off till the end of the season? Is this a repair that is fairly easy to accomplish with the boat in the water?

Yes, you can likely wait until the winter.
And yes, you can do it with the boat in the water IF you have decent access to that side of the engine.
