The luck of the Irish

[All U Get]

I had stumbled onto a issue that could have gone unnoticed for some time. So the short version is to look at the two pictures. I missed the belt delaminating because it didn't show under tension. The new belts were a bit shorter, too. The old ones were stretched.

Good catch.
And may I say, that's a workin' hand!

And a nicely crafted image, JSG.

The PO had replacement belts secured near the alternators so they were handy. Otherwise I would have had to remove the PTO that runs the hydraulic bow thruster.

Here's a picture of the pump unit. Sorry for the mess.

Two alternators?

 

[All U Get]

Yes, 63A for the engine and 100A for the house batteries.

I had a belt that the small, inner layer, had broken off a 3-inch section but was hidden by the crank pulley. Took a while to figure that one out. By the way, what's this "Luck of the Irish? Last time I saw you, you seemed mostly Scotch

Scotch are people with deep pockets and short arms.......Irish can't be considered drunk as long as there is one thin blade of grass to hang on to ...to keep them from sliding of the face of the earth......

Point of Order: We do not refer to the Irish as "Jameson's", let's not refer to the Scots people as "Scotch"!

does this mean the prisoner will go free

 

[Gunni]

If there is no ransome being paid, I'm afraid they're still prisoners!

Dean Martin once said, "I'm not drunk! I can still lie on the floor without holding on".

So I'm in a bar and I meet my buddy Shawn who had been there a bit too long. Anyway after discussing his failure with women I explained to him the polite and caring approach. He then saw several women at the end of the bar and off he went.

Skidding to a halt and spilling beer all over himself he asked the women "Are you gals Scottish?" The laughed and berated him for being so stinking drunk and foolish. "We're Wales you stupid drunk, Wales."

He then replied "You Whales Scottish?" I got to help load him on the ambulance.
