belt replacement

[brs517]

I have a 1986 Mercruiser 140 h.p. 4-cylinder. I haven't had to do it yet, but was looking at the belt. It looks like if I want to replace the belt, I have to remove one of the motor mounts. Does that sound right? If so, any ideas on how to support the motor while I'm doing it?<br /><br />Thanks!

Re: belt replacement

On the port side of the front mount is a spacer. Remove it and belt will slip in. No need to support engine. Remember to reinstall it.
