First will try the new belt. If that seems to work, will also pick up an original Autohelm drive from a hoarder in southern Maine on our way up. A new, boxed, Mk II drive will be below as a last (and more expensive) resort.
The arrangement was made amongst a sailor anchored at the Mud Hole at Great Wass, his non-boating land neighbor in Casco Bay and our buddy boat's wife who will be driving to Maine to skip the "delivery" part of the trip. All via free iMessaging on iPhones.
