1996 4.3gs PNCA...I'd like to change out the belts and am having an issue finding heavy duty marine grade ones, as I've read I shouldn't be using automotive belts. Anyone have part numbers that I can use. I think there's 3 of them?
Thanks

Any #s on your belts?
Take em off and go to Autozone.

Re: Changing belts

I bought my belts right here on iboats. A little more expensive than NAPA, etc, but I got the exact size I needed.

Re: Changing belts

Jerry,
Don't know either, hence the question....


DRS,
Yeah I'd like to just order them from here as well but havin a hard time trackin all three down. I can find the alternator belt fine but not the other two. I

I guess if there really is no difference between automotive and marine, (contrary to what the manual says) then I'll take em off and go to autozone or equivalent and match up sizes...

Re: Changing belts

Thanks guys... That clears it up. I will remove and go the nearest auto parts (autozone) for replacement.

Re: Changing belts

They just put their own PN on it and tell you to buy it from them at twice the price.
