Been having a periodic squealing noise which seems to be coming from the belts, but it's hard to tell since I haven't been able to get someone out on my boat to drive it while I sit back there and listen. It seems to be between 2-3000rpm that I hear it and it seems like it only does it when I speed up. I tightened the belts and it still seems to do it. It's making me think maybe it's not the belts. This engine has nice smooth aluminum pulleys, so maybe they still are slipping a bit. Someone told me to spray brake cleaner on the pulleys to see if maybe their is some residual oil on the pulleys from assembly and being a new engine. I wonder if maybe since the idiots at the shop put sealed bearings in my volvo penta aq style borg warner pds assembly that the PDS shaft didn't get greased properly..... I would think it would be squealing all the time if that was the case even at idle.
