Anyone know size of this belt? is it 13/32x40 v belt? how wide is that belt? Seen belts from $3 to $20.. thanks..

Mine's been squeeking, tighten it its ok for while then squeeks again... need new lock nuts to bite in,,, everytime it squeeks that means its slipping and subject to increased wear.. thanks all

Easiest to take the belt off and take it with you to any auto parts store. Nothing 'marine' about a fan belt...

true Chris,,, thanks,, Bondo-o nope,,,where belt rides its smooth.. new lock nuts with teeth are called for here I think... was a new belt this year,,I adjusted it about 3 trips ago, started squeeking again, got loose again, I loosend the slider bolt, put bar against engine block pulled it tight again. did not see any reason why I should spend $20 for a $3 belt.. thanks
