The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Does anybody know? My belt does not have any numbers on it and I don't think it is the right size because is squeals when reving the engine even with the correct tightness. thanks.
Why do you think it is the wrong size? If it was too long, it wouldn't tighten up correctly. If it is glazed, it could squeal. If that is all it is, you can take it to a parts store and they can match it up based on size.
if you are suggesting that maybe the width is wrong... then I don't know. Someone with access to part numbers will have to help. Sorry.
One more point to consider is that the squeal could be coming from the things the belt is driving - alternator or water pump for instance. Try removing the belt and see if either the pump or alternator feel like they are spinning freely.

Right, if the bearing is failing on the thing the belt is driving. Belt has only 2 options when that happens- slip (squeal and burn) or break. Soon as that bearing fails for good, it'll break.
