Scat cranks

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!
