I learned some funny boating superstitions, and am curious what others may exist. What superstitions have you heard? Have you had anything happen to you??
The first time I had guests on my boat leaving the launch I had issues with the power steering being stiff. Popped the hood and found that alternator belt was not on the crankshaft pulley %100 and shredding.
I had brought 4 bananas on board this trip for the first time and learned they were apparently rooted in a long history of boating problems. This is a serious thing in some places or to some people. Some places strictly prohibit bananas on board. No joke, banned.
Truly, I did just recently change the alternator and when I adjusted the belt I was almost at the end of the adjustment bracket. I just casually thought the pulley on the new alternator must be smaller.
Stupid mistake on my part, or maybe the banana gremlins got in their!!!
Any stories? Please share Thanks
