Peter and All,

I just checked the Celestial's boat manuals. The marine engine parts 
manual for the 4 and 6BT5.9
engines list the following on page 214:

P/N 3921807 Guard, Belt - for engines with exhaust from top (?dry stack?)

P/N 3925492 Guard, Belt - for engines with exhaust from rear

The manual did not mention the aftercooled version, but I don't see 
why it should be different.

I forgot to check the date of the manual, but the shroud should be 
fairly universal.


Take care and be safe.
