Was fishing in Chesapeake Bay today when things went bad for my opti. Motor had run most of the day with no issues when the motor began to squeal and squal and cut off. It would crank right up, but would do the same thing again. Removed the cowling and found the belt to be very slack. I just read a post on one of the message boards I frequent concerning this same problem. Turns out that the spring that keeps the belt tensioner tight broke. Has anyone else had this problem? <br />Alan
