Just got back from the boat.. all is in good shape. Replaced the

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...


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

Only on the end of a 10 ft pole and suited up in a BioHazard suit...



Do you think that would good enough?
