 Re: sh*t
good news is they aren't hard to change. the hardest part is figuring out how to use the belt tension guage thingy. after fooling with it for 30 min i just put the damn belt on with a little play and it's lasted a couple yrs. and i don't even own a belt drive. lol

 Re: sh*t
Something was wrong with that belt from day one. They dont just break at 50hrs. I dont think its anything you did.

 Re: sh*t
Had to be a bad belt with maybe a tear in it somewhere?

 Re: sh*t
Aren't you the guy with a split GD hull? (Post up in the boat forum about how that turned out) Now the belt breaks? You must have a bad luck streak, or you are really tough on your stuff. Glad you got the belt sorted out.
