    The alternator wheel does spin freely but it is a tight fit since the wheel is a double wheel. It was all the shop had at the time. Also it is a multi-grove belt so I ill be sure to check the alignment. I didnt think the alignment would be off since the new alternator bolted right in place. Any pointers on alignment?

    here are some picture:

    Thats just double v-belt pulley, not a multi-grove serpentine. But, alignment could still be an issue if your original pulley was just a single belt pulley. If so, they should have swapped the pulleys. Alignment can cause the belts to wear, break or jump off.

    Use a long straight edge to check alignment.

    Being Convenient is a problem. I wonder if the double pulley is causing alignment issues. When I was swapping the alternator at the shop I asked about the belt because I thought it was looking kind of rough but the mechanic told me he thought it looked okay.

    A single pulley could possibly have a different offset from that double pulley.

    Just an update! Boat is working great! It was a belt issue and the double wheel is doing the job. Next time I will go with a single wheel but I hope that time is a ways away! I will say the double wheel was convenient because they had it right there at the shop and all I had to do was bolt it on and hook it up. Anyways. I hope everyone is having fun out there! Enjoy..
