Default How to pack/store spare parts

Spare belts should be tried out first and I usually leave the new belt on
and save the slightly used ones for the spares. Since you change belt every
other season or so, these can be stored without any special packaging.


I saw a neat trick on a trawler I delivered once. The owner actually
stored a spare belt on the engine. It was already routed properly,
then secured behind the pulleys. The idea was that if that one broke,
you didn't have to remove the other belt to replace it. The owner said
you could just get the belt started, then turn over the engine.
Instant no tools replacement for the back belt.
