Hi guys.has anyone had any issues with the alternater adjustment bracket arm cracking at the thin part of the adjustment slot. This will be my forth time replacing the bracket. Is this a common problem . the boat is a 1986 mercruiser 120 . thanks
Yes, they do crack. When adjusting your tension use a belt tension deflection tool or else you will keep on cracking them. The belt does not need to be as tight as most people think. It only needs to be tight enough to not squeal, and that's it.
