Maybe it’s not a good idea but I use the pump handle from my Navtec hydraulic backstay adjuster to tension the alternator belt which is right out front on the Universal M4-30…one less tool to carry on board

I'm thinking of buying a couple more just in case the ones I have break. They are really hard to find. http://www.mscdirect.com/product/35438209?rItem=35438209 As for belts, several sources have told me that Gates makes the best belts, cogged or otherwise.

(I read the Yanmar belts were less than stellar) (2) - How would you clean pullies before reassembly? (3) - 30 mk-2 owners....How the h€ll does one tighten an alternator belt on the 2GM20 with the nut facing the back of the nut facing the stern and almost completely inaccessible. (4) - The throttle is painfully stiff to the point I almost need two hands to move it. Is there an easy lubrication point to get it moving again till I can replace the cable? Thanks everybody.
