"I have a 200 Mercruiser 3.0L
"I have a 200 Mercruiser 3.0L and had it out for the first time this season today. Whenever I engage the Trim button I got a squeal I opened up the cover and it looked like the belt was skipping over the alternator wheel. I checked the belt tension and it is very tight. I was considering replacing the belt but the routing looks impossible. It looks like I would have to remove the engine from one of the mounts to get it over all of the Pully's it needs to get to. Any thoughts on this?
I also noticed a small amount of water coming from behind the pulley for the engine circulating pump. Do you guys think this could be part of the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Chris"
