Product Details

The Quicksilver 865597T Belt Tensioner is a genuine OEM replacement part engineered specifically for MerCruiser inboard and sterndrive engines. This tensioner maintains proper serpentine belt tension across the seawater pump and power steering brackets, ensuring consistent accessory drive performance and preventing belt slippage or premature wear on high-displacement marine engines.

As a factory-original Quicksilver component, the 865597T is manufactured to the same specifications as the part installed at the factory—delivering a precise, reliable fit without the guesswork of aftermarket alternatives. Replacing a worn or failed belt tensioner at regular service intervals helps protect belts and driven accessories from damage caused by improper tension.

Key Features:

  • Genuine OEM Quicksilver/Mercury Marine factory part
  • Maintains correct belt tension on seawater pump and power steering brackets
  • Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required
  • Built to Mercury Marine original equipment specifications
  • Backed by Mercury Marine's 1-year factory warranty against defects and workmanship
  • Compatible with 496 MAG, 8.1L, 8.2L, 100 Vazer, 4.5L MPI 200/250, 520, and 540 MerCruiser engines across multiple serial number ranges

Always verify fitment using your engine's model year and serial number before ordering. Part number: 865597T.

I really like Autoplicity, but this last order I got what I ordered but it wasn't the right part. I can't tell if I made a mistake or the item description was misleading. It was only a $25.00 part so I'm not really worried about it.
