2005 246 8.1 Gi serpentine belt replacement

Post by fordismyboss »

Less than two hundred hours on this boat, first serpentine belt replacement. Q: i'm guessing this pumps lake water, will it need to be primed before I start the motor? Also, does this black bracket have only those 2 bolts? Thank you for reading, and thank you for any guidance you can offer.

So glad you found us fimb .

No need to prime the raw water pump. Change the serpentine belt and fire her up.

And welcome aboard mate.
