Pleasurecraft Marine has encountered some engines in which the serpentine belt system idler pulleys may not have been installed and tightened properly. Pleasurecraft is taking immediate action to this situation. ALL affected engines, based on model and serial numbers above, must be inspected and torqued according to the following instructions. If these pulleys are not installed or tightened properly, there is a risk of throwing a belt and/or the pulley coming off.

Please inspect ALL in-stock inventory immediately. In addition, contact your customers immediately if they have an engine that falls within the above model and serial numbers and perform this procedure. There are three idler pulleys that require this inspection. The inspection and tightening procedure is as follows. Each engine inspected must be submitted for warranty under Labor Code SUP2015-03 for a reimbursement of 0.5 hours per engine.

#SUP2015-03 PEG Service Update September 2015Serpentine System Idler Pulley Installation Inspection

1. The illustration to the right shows the three idler pulleys that must be inspected and properly tightened.

2. Inspect each of the idler pulley’s washer and make sure they are seated properly against the pulley. If the washer is not seated properly, the tightening of the bolt will be incorrect and may cause the bolt and pulley to loosen up.

Note: If the idler pulley bolts need to be loosened to properly seat the washer, perform the tightening procedure on one pulley at a time and you will not have to remove the serpentine belt.

3. If the washer is not seated properly, slightly loosen the idler pulley center bolt. This will allow you position the washer correctly into the idler pulley. While holding the washer in place, tighten the idler pulley bolt by hand. This will ensure the washer stays properly seated when the bolt is torqued to specifications.

4. Once the washer is properly seated into the idler pulley, and the bolt is finger tight, you are ready to final torque each bolt.

Torque each idler pulley bolt to 40 lb. ft. (54 N.m).

5. Once the bolts are properly torqued, use a sharpy or paint pen to mark the head of the bolt indicating it has been torqued to specifications.
