AViVA’s engine gets an upgrade

Before

After

Spent the day at mooring fitting a ‘polyvee’ kit to the engine.

The old single v-belt kicked up a hell of a lot of dust and was forever losing tension.

I had to remove the alternator and take it home before I could remove the drive. Nut had seized.

Anyway, here is a picture of the new rig. Seems to work a treat. The smaller picture here, shows the old single v-belt setup.
