- Grand Banks 42
We have an older Grand Banks 42 with Ford Lehman 120s. Ever since we purchased her four years ago we've had an ongoing issue with very short lived belts on the port engine. I've looked as closely as I can at pulley alignment and all seems well, I recently installed a new alternator and the problem persists. The water pump pulley turns freely...I even just installed those new universal belt tensioners from Balmar and the problem hasn't gone away. Typically were getting 15 to 20 hours out of a belt on the port engine and an entire season from the belt on the starboard engine...completely stumped
