What Part Number For Mercruiser Alternator Belt?

[thedukeryan]

I am going to be replacing the alternator bracket in a 1998 5.7 Mercruiser with Bravo 3 outdrive. I figured while replacing the bracket I would replace the belt as well. I do not have access to the boat at this moment and was gonna order one up tonight in order to have it ready for the weekend. I believe it is a flat belt not a V. Can I pick one of these up at a big box auto store? I am about 30 minutes away from the boat and would like to avoid having to pull the belt out and then make another trip back into town to get another. Can I just go to big box auto and say I need a 1998 350 alternator belt? If not anyone have a parts number or what not?

I doubt you will find one without matching up the old one......sorry..

Too many variations of setups for an auto parts place to ever figure it out.

Ayuh,... You can probably get 1 from an auto parts store, if they have Marine listings...
They'll want the Serial # to look it up though...
