The belt tensioners are essential for the auxiliary belt drive system to work effectively. Throughout its duty cycle, a tensioner keeps the belt's tension at the proper level at all times. Additionally, it helps guard against excessive strain and early failure of other parts like the water pump and alternator. A tensioner is also a reasonably cheap component to replace. Therefore, remember to change the tensioner every time you replace a multi-ribbed belt.
Key Features:
- This belt tensioner is composed of wearing, resilient, and scratch-resistant aluminum material.
- The serpentine belt and timing belt on a boat's engine is guided by a device called a belt tensioner or/an idler pulley. A pulley's and a tensioner's job is to reduce belt slip. Both hydraulic and mechanical (spring-loaded) belt tensioners are available.
- Drive Belt Tension Pulley, 1 alone. Before making a purchase, please verify your boat's model and OE number. Please watch the pertinent operating video before replacing it.
