"ok guys , help me if you can.
"ok guys , help me if you can. Have broke 2 belts in the past month. The boat does not have power steering, so it only has one belt. Water pump pully looks good, alternator looks good. It appears that the belt is running true. But i had a friend look at it and he thinks the harmonic balancer / front crank pulley is warped. It does appear to wobble a little bit, his thinking is at high rpms/ full throttle it has to much wobble and that is when the belt gets eat/ shredded. Has anybody ever had this happen ? I dont understand how it got warped when i have never pryed on it or took it off. Time/age maybe ? I dont mind giving doug russell marine $183.00 for a new crank pulley/ harmonic balancer. But i would hate to buy one and it not fix the problem. Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks"
