This fan belt and radiator are part of the engine attatched to the Lister.  Notice on this fan belt that it is not one continuous belt but a series of interconnecting links that can be taken out or added to to adjust the size of the belt.   It’s good to have these aboard boats in case you need to replace a broken one while out at sea.
