What’s in the Box

  • 1 x Seawater Pump Drive Belt (104511-78780/104511-78780E)

Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the engine's battery for safety.
  2. Locate the seawater pump and loosen the tensioner pulley or alternator mounting bolts.
  3. Carefully slide the old, worn belt off the pulleys.
  4. Inspect all pulleys for wobble, damage, or grease/oil contamination. Clean or replace pulleys if necessary.
  5. Route the new belt correctly around the pulleys according to your engine's service manual.
  6. Apply tension to the belt. A common rule is about 1/2 inch (13 mm) of deflection with firm thumb pressure at the longest span.
  7. Tighten all bolts to secure the tensioner or alternator.
  8. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and visually confirm the belt is running smoothly without slipping or squealing.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this belt fits my specific Yanmar engine?

The most reliable method is to match your existing part number to the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix (104511-78780, 104511-78780E). You can also check your model against our compatibility table. For models like the 3YM20 and 3YM30, be sure to verify your engine's serial number is within the specified range.

What are the signs of a failing pump drive belt?

Common signs include visible cracks, glazing (shiny surface), fraying, or missing chunks on the belt. You might also hear a squealing noise upon startup or see a rise in engine temperature, indicating the water pump is not spinning effectively due to a slipping belt.

How often should this drive belt be replaced?

Preventative replacement is recommended based on your engine manufacturer's service schedule, typically every few hundred hours or every 2-4 years, whichever comes first. Always perform a visual inspection before each season.

My engine model is listed, but has a letter suffix not in the table. Will it fit?

Often, letter suffixes (e.g., 'F' for heat exchanger, 'V' for V-drive) do not change the core engine block or pulley setup for the water pump belt. If the base model (like '3GM30') is listed, it is very likely to fit. However, always double-check by comparing your old part to our pictures and dimensions.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.

Shipping speed & cost

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.

Warranty & returns

Covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
