Isn't the Renesis using a gear driven water pump?

An independent second alternator would be nice, but if the water pump is
gear driven, then there is no issue with needing a redundant water pump
belt.

The Renesis engine has a one piece front cover that includes the water pump housing.  The water pump cartridge is still a bolt on belt driven item.
