"""Waterboxers are not prone to flipping off belts....."""

But when they do, they do it well.  I had one belt go, and it summarily took
the other two with it by getting caught up in them.  Of the three belts, I
was left with one severely crippled belt, which I fit to the alt/waterpump,
and limped it off the highway.  The belt broke before I got to the FLAPS.  I
coasted most of the way, using the engine power only briefly a few times.
Luckily, no permanent damage.  Bought 2 spares, kept them in the van,
therefore never happened again.  Such adventure!  Did I mention that I had
the wife, dogs, cats, and a whole bunch of stuff in the van at the time?
