Installation Guide

  1. Disconnect the battery: Remove the negative terminal to prevent electrical shock or short circuits.
  2. Access the belt area: Remove any covers or guards obstructing access to the alternator and pulleys.
  3. Release tension on the old belt: Loosen the alternator mounting bolts or tensioner to reduce belt tension. Note the routing path of the existing belt.
  4. Remove the old belt: Slide the worn V-belt off the pulleys.
  5. Inspect pulleys: Check all pulleys for wear, cracks, or damage; clean any debris or oil buildup.
  6. Install the new V-belt: Route the new belt around the pulleys following the original path.
  7. Adjust tension: Reposition the alternator or tensioner to achieve proper belt tension (typically 10–15 mm deflection under moderate thumb pressure at the longest belt span).
  8. Tighten mounting bolts: Secure the alternator or tensioner bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
  9. Reinstall covers: Replace any guards or covers removed during the process.
  10. Reconnect the battery: Reattach the negative terminal.
  11. Start the engine and verify: Run the engine and check for proper belt alignment, unusual noise, or vibration. Confirm the alternator is charging correctly.
  12. Recheck tension after initial run: Inspect belt tension after the first hour of operation and adjust if necessary.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this belt fits my Volvo Penta engine?
A: Cross-reference your existing belt's OEM part number (966978, 958314, 958359, 966382, or 841821) or verify your engine model against the compatibility table above. If you're uncertain, email us your engine serial number, model, and year for confirmation before purchasing.

Q: Can I install this belt myself or do I need a mechanic?

As expected
Color: Gray/Gray/Digital
Just an old school digital timex. Tried and true. Has both 12hr and 24hr function on the time setting. Has a standard stop watch and timer. The battery is great, just as it always is on a timex. Good water resistance and very easy to use. Overall very good watch for the price!

I absolutely love these watches! They are built like a tank. They can take a lot of abuse and still keep great time. I originally was going to buy just one to replace my old watch. Ended up buying several of them. Great gifts. The watches are beautiful and elegant, and I feel like a thief when I buy them because the price is so low I think its a typo. I have gotten several compliments on them when I wear them. I have busted up concrete and cleared heavy terrain ,cleaning areas out, wipe then off and they look Like I just took them out of the box. The only thing, and it's not a big deal to me.But the glow in the dark arms don't last long. They even give you the tool to adjust the wristband. Who does that🤣 The Quality of these watches are phenomenal BUY ONE! You won't be disappointed.

Very handsome well-made watch comfortable to wear.

Very handsome watch. At first glance, it resembles a Rolex. In two days I’ve gotten multiple compliments. Several have asked if it was a Rolex. That’s hardly what I was going for, in fact I had to look up Rolex watches to see what was being referenced. The watch fits very comfortably.
