Stus-List Helpful Tool for Changing Your Engine Belt
Listers, I thought I’d pass along a recommendation for a great tool in getting perfect belt tension when installing a new belt on your CC engine. It’s called a Belt Tension Jack. I saw a write up on the SAIL Magazine website and was very skeptical, but the $22 gamble paid off big time! My wife and I used it yesterday and the whole job could not have gone easier. Here’s a link to the SAIL Mag write-up: http://www.sailmagazine.com/boatworks/maintaining-tension Here’s a link to MSC Direct for the tool itself: http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/35438209?rItem=35438209 All the best, Edd Edd M.

Do not tighten your water pump belt on a Yanmar to drum tight. Yanmar directs that you be able to deflect the belt a little bit. I ruined the shaft and pulley using a similar tool over tightening the belt.

Excellent point about not over tightening. Thanks! On Aug 4, 2014 6:20 PM, Edward Levert via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: Do not tighten your water pump belt on a Yanmar to drum tight.
