Belt Noise

Post by Jack28 »

Does anyone have have a squeeky Alternator belt when you hit the bow thruster? I have checked the belt it is tight and good, but every time I use the thruster or the windless it squeeks like the Alternator can not keep up with load. Would it make a diffrence if I had the battery switch in the all position? JACK

I believe it would, easy enough to try.

How old are the belts, could they be getting dry?
