[C320-list] Autohelm replacement belt

[warren updike]

ST-4000(no '+') I did manage to get the thing adjusted properly; but, it was
a struggle that took several tries. What an inconvenient way to manage an
adjustment. The retaining nut has two holes and no other way to loosen and
tighten. I bought a snap-ring tool to do that. It's necessary to hold the
setting with the allen wrench while you tighten the nut with the snap-ring
tool. BTW, Raymarine suggests that you use thread lock on the nut.

Holly (and others),

How did the clutch adjustment "fix" work for you?
Has anyone actually ever broken their belt?
I would be quite surprised as the belts are an industrial timing belt made
of polyurethane with SS wire reinforcement.
