150 optimax........alternator bolt snapping

[Ynot]

Thanks for the response, I also bought 3 extra bolts. I run twin 150's on the 25'and figured that I should have them on hand. The tuff part is getting the broken part out of the mounting ear bracket on the engine block.I found
that when the bolt is tighten down all the way there was play in the alternator. The bolt snaped off right at the shoulder on the bolt, that happened twice. I have since added a very thin stainlees fender washer to take the play out of the alternator. Only 3 hours on the engine and still holding. Time tells all......keeping my fingers crossed.
