How's it going? Bruce

I contacted you a few weeks ago regarding a double pulley system for my Yanmar 170 hp 4lh dte engines. After making a bunch of calls, I finally found double crankcase pulleys at Mastery engine center. Said about $60 a piece but couldn't ship to Texas. Do you think that you might be able to help me out on this one? I love those little engines except for the fact that they break belts left and right. I'm using oem Yanmar v belts. The tech guy at Mastery said that my high amp alternators might be causing too much drag for just one belt. Next, I'll have to find or have machined double pulleys for the alternator and water pump. Talked to Capt pat about this and he thought it was a good idea. Sorry to bug you, Bruce, but I figured that you'll be able to get me lined out.
See ya in Lauderdale. Thanks again, John
