New Belt 4.3 mercruiser question

[kbryant]

Hi
Does anyone have a video link to show how to install a new belt on 2011 MerCruiser Tahoe Q5i. I can’t find one. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

If you happen to have your engine user's manual from new, then the belt routing for your exact model should be in there 'in the maintenance section and ought to be listed in the front table of contents index guide... While not fully able to tell you if routing changed in 2011 or not but the following guides of other engines may help get you where you need to be should you not have your engine operation user manual from new.

Hello
Thank you for your time. Just can’t find where the tension nut is on this thing or maybe I need to loosen the alternator?
