My belt completely disengraded this past weekend and I was not able to get a number off ot it. I have a 2002 Bayliner Capri 185 with the 4.3L Alpha 1 thunderbolt eninge. I have power steering. Does anyone know the part number from Mercury? Or better yet, can I get this belt at one of the local auto part stores? I'm sure the number would be different for the auto store.

I bought that belt and it is not even close to fitting. Am I doing something wrong?? This is what the front of my engine looks like I bought 3 belts from NAPA and not of them are even close.

Too long or too short?
