im going to try a little belt grease...if it doesnt go away i may try a new belt.

if i cant fix it by the weekend, do you think its safe to run...

ill check the tensioner too..

just get a new Gates belt from the auto parts store. Its the best $33 you'll spend. I put up with the squeal for several weekends, it puts un-needed stress in the boating experiance.

What do I ask for when I go to the auto parts store? A gates belt but for what motor?

moses just tell them year make and model number of engine etc say 2003 mecury 6.2 efi small block or take the belt off and they will match it up napa warehouse in cromwell should have it

thanks...

i will let everyone know the outcome tonight...

just take the belt with you. They will have a device to measure it.

I do the same with my condums.

hahaha...nice

i think i have eliminated the belt as the source...i think its the bushing in the tensioner...def coming from the right side of the port engine.

That's where my squeal is coming from. Not sure if I can just change out the bearings or if the entire pulley has to be replace. Guess I'll find out when I tear into it.
