My belt dust went to zero when I switched to a serpentine belt system, as did any regular tensioning. Just saying.

Swapped the smooth belt out with one of the cogged belts on Friday, and ran it for two boat parades over the weekend with heavy electrical loads for Holiday lights, and 1000 watts of audio. Saturdays parade took 12 hours dock to dock, and Sundays parade was 5 hours of motoring. New cogged belt worked great.
