I've seen some high quality cranks (Lunati, Callies) break off at the snout too if the blower belt is too tight. There isn't any give in a toothed Gilmer belt. I know on my own boat with 671's and Superchillers, there is a LOT of growth as the motor heats up. When stone cold if the tension is set at 1/2" play, the belt is tight as a banjo string when things get hot. If your not consistantly checking blower belt tension to get a feel for where it needs to be when cold, somethings gonna give. See ya in the spring! Kurt |
a little :offtopic: Kurt can't wait, Ya, blower belt tension it's always sum-thin. u-be in my-am-eee next mo. wish I was goin :( - great to see you in KW. Thanks, will call you & see ya @ "Brayes" ---your friend--J--:D
