Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal for safety.
  2. Locate the belt tensioner and use a wrench or breaker bar to release the tension on the old belt.
  3. Carefully slide the old belt off the pulleys. It's helpful to sketch or photograph the belt's routing path first.
  4. Inspect all pulleys for wobble, damage, or seizure. Clean any grime from pulley grooves.
  5. Route the new belt according to the manufacturer's diagram, starting with the crankshaft pulley.
  6. Ensure the belt's ribs are correctly seated in all pulley grooves.
  7. Apply tension back onto the belt system using the tensioner.
  8. Double-check the belt's alignment and tension.
  9. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and listen for any unusual noises.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How can I confirm this belt fits my specific engine model?

Your primary reference should be the Engine & Model Compatibility table on this page. Compare your engine's model designation against the list. If you are still unsure, check your engine’s service manual for the correct OEM part number and cross-reference it with our Part Number Matrix.

What are common signs of a failing serpentine belt?

Look for visible signs of wear such as cracking, glazing (shiny surface), fraying edges, or chunking (missing pieces). Audible symptoms often include a high-pitched squealing or chirping noise from the engine bay, especially during startup or when accelerating.

How often should I replace my serpentine belt?

There is no fixed interval, as it depends on engine hours, operating conditions, and climate. We recommend inspecting the belt during every routine service. Most marine mechanics suggest replacement every 3-5 years or after a certain number of hours, whichever comes first, to prevent unexpected failure on the water.

What does it mean that part number 3889124 "supersedes" 3817287?

It means that 3889124 is the newer, updated version of the part from the manufacturer. It is fully compatible and serves as the current replacement for the older part number 3817287. Our belt is a direct replacement for both of these OEM numbers.
