My Gates
In Response To: Where do I find a Gates belt or a similar for an alternator? ()

My Gates belt has lasted about 4 x's the time of any other belt. Most belts with our HOA only lasted 6 months till they stretched out beyond the ability to adjust them. The Gates has lasted 2 years and I will replace it this winter when I haul in Panama.

Go Slow
Sail Far
Stay Long

Still at it, only a two weeks behind now.
