Universal m3-20b alternator belt alternative?

[Mikeshield]

Does anyone know of an alternative to the universal belt part #301965 fan belt as i cannot believe the almost $50 price on this . Thanks for any input.Mike.

It is a standard belt

I don't have the dimensions of it here, but just go to the local auto parts and grab one.
If you are in the east bay, there is a place called lee auto in Alameda that will be able to hand you one, or get you one within a day. Old hot rodders are great at figuring out what the part is without having to know the model of the car.

As was said take it to a local auto parts store and have them match it up. They are usually a 3/8" wide belt by X long.. You'll probably pay $12.00 -$18.00 vs. $50.00

I agree, Lee's is great, right next to Weinerschnitzel's, always parking availalble.:nerd:

When you find the right belt, go back and buy two more and they will outlast your ownership of the boat.

I put a belt from NAPA on our M25 about 5 years ago. Still looks and works just fine. I can get a number if anyone is interested.
