Accessory Drive Repair and Modification

Hello again,

And good morning to all of you who are waking up after a long winter lay-up!

There is a new posting in the Technical Notes section of our web site (Technical Note 5), which will probably tell you more than you ever wanted to know about your accessory drive. In any case, it presents our assessment of the causal factors relating to failures of the front bearing within the accessory drive, and perhaps more importantly, what can be done to prevent the failures. Here's the link:
www.moyermarine.com/technotes/technote5/index.html. This Technical Note is a follow up to a question and answer that appeared in the General Category of our FAQ almost a year ago, which dealt with the cause of grinding or screeching noises within the accessory drive. We are pleased that all of our research into the problem since that time suggests that it will be one of the easier ones to manage.
As always, we are wishing for you a fantastic sailing season!
Your Moyer Marine Team
