[Galvez83]

Anyone has by chance a cross refence to a volvo penta 5.7gi belt tensioner used in the auto world. Belt tensioner square adjuster broke and i dont want to dish out 130 for a nes one if i can get it at the auto parts. The part for my engine is 3860079

the accessory brackets and tesnsioner for boat motors are part of the marinization package. you are looking at a volvo penta only marine engine part.

the tensioner is a Gates unit designed for VP.

here is the gates catalog. https://www.gates.com/us/en/power-transmission/power-transmission-components/tensioners.html

however just loosing the tab to release is not the end of the world. grab the tensioner with your hand and pull to release
