Hey yall. Here's one for you. The pulley on the front of my balancer sticks out too far by a half inch or so causing the belt to the alternator to run at a bit of an angle further causing the alternator bracket to break every year or so.
(Or: My alternator bracket doesn't stick out far enough causing the belt to run at an angle etc.)
So I'm wondering if yall know where I can find a broad selection of pulley sizes -- marineengine support says it's an add-on so they don't know where to look.
Alternatively -- sorry for the pun -- maybe I should just add washers or shims behind the bracket, but that seems as likely to cause vibration and breakage as the crooked belt, no?
Thanks any and all for the advice!
