All done, fits a lot better than the chopped up factory pipe and I dont get itchy fiberglass heat wrap on me when I reach into engine bay.
It better add at least 1hp or I'll be pissed.....

Well the pipe works good....
Warmed it up then cruised off, pushed the power valve and gave it the berries, revved to the moon....and slowed down to a crawl....puttz.
Belt crapped out.

On closer inspection it appears my bottom engine mount bolt/tensioner rattled loose....engine moved and belt went floppy....puttz
Probably not the belts fault.

Did you tie pantyhose around the pulleys to get you back to the ramp  ;D

I didn't have any pantyhose handy unfortunately.
I took the highly undignified route back to the ramp using paddle power.

I bet you'd gone upstream incase you had ta paddle home. Pantyhose tied in a figure 8 you'd have had reverse and could've backed back to the ramp cou . Are your paddle strokes longer  than the boat ;D At least you had some quiet time to reflect and plan your next   project?!

Swapped a new belt on, 1 down, 4 to go. These are pretty cheap, about $7 each.
Put a new engine mount bolt with nyloc nut and tightened the crap outa it.

Would the engine mount under spring tension or idler pulley save any grief.

Might pay to put those other 3 belts in the boat somewhere for next time. Might be adding unwanted weight but could save a long paddle back to the ramp.
