Looks like this isn't the end of my troubles. I installed the new pump and the problem was solved, or so I thought. After the first trip back on the water I noticed the belt had worked its way one grove toward the rear of the boat. No big deal I thought, I just didn't get it on all the pulleys correctly the first time. I put it back on correctly this time. After the next trip to the lake I looked at it and it is now a 1/3 of the way off and the belt is shredding. What is going on? I never had this problem before. Also, there is still a noise from the engine. I have a new pump, alt was replaced last year, and the tensioner turn smoothly and free by hand with not noticeable play in it.
