Just got back from the boat.. all is in good shape. Replaced the alternator belt, which was stretched to the limit of the adjusting arm. I kept the old one, but I'm not sure it's good even for a spare. Just throw it out...and get another new one for a spare...no sense putting an old worn out one on in an emergency situation...and I can't think of any alternate uses for a worn out alternator belt... |

That's my feeling as well.. I'm just loath to throw things out. It doesn't really fit any more anyway. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

You're not being very creative, one could easily fashion a garrote for use in case Neal/Wilbur/Whatever shows up! Cheers Martin |
