Engine mechanic in Spanish Wells Bahamas?

I've got a couple of problems with my starboard engine (Yanmar 3YM30) water pump">raw water pump. First, the belt has gotten too loose and I can't fit in my tight engine compartment to get underneath the engine to loosen the swing arm and move it out. Second, the pump is leaking (not sure from where - O ring?).

Anybody know of a mechanic in the Spanish Wells area that could handle at least the first issue?

R and B boatyard would be the place to start. They may have time to take care of you, or else recommend a local who can.
Good luck.
I'm planning to be in Spanish Wells Friday afternoon. It's a great community!

Do a call out on Ch 16, there may be a skinny cruiser out there willing to give you a hand for a bottle of Ricardo Rum. It is a pretty simple job to remove the pump, even by feel.
