Greetings,
Mr. jb. Shrapnel? Must be a helluva hard belt with a massive velocity to penetrate two hulls (catamaran).

Just a personal observation...our 4JH2 doesn't eat cogged V belts like it used to chew through regular smooth V belts.
I've already gone through one smooth vbelt in about 250 hours. I will try the cogged version.
Do you use a particular brand?

If the boat is still in charter service gauges wont be as helpful as a loud alarm
The failure says a lot about the quality of the belts. Not only did they outlast their advised working life by over 150%, but consistency of quality saw them fail at virtually the same time.
Hope to avoid such a problem by having a marine-engine mechanic inspect and service the engine annually. It's not cheap, however. The mechanic enjoys servicing my single 4-cylinder JD. Easy access from both sides and above. All other JDs he works on are 6-cylinder.
