I need a new serpentine belt for a Mercruiser 4.3L. The info I have is S/N OM346613 Model# 4211025PS and it has a description of 4.3L Alpha/Bravo 262 cid GEN+
I believe the part is 57-865615Q03 but I’m trying to verify that before I order one.
Thanks

If its not broken remove it and size it at a auto parts shop, Not a marine belt just an ordinary Dayco

If it looks like this...

Then it's a standard Gates belt, 6PK1930.

That part number is for a Bravo engine (with an engine mounted sea water pump), but your serial number comes up as an Alpha... (same as the one in the above photo)

The Mercruiser part number that would fit your engine from factory would be 57-865615Q04 .

BELT, Serpentine (#57-865615Q04)
Comment: (Standard Cooling) (Alpha) (Power Steering)
Supersedes: 57-865615004, 57-863876 4


The exception would be if your engine was added a Mercruiser sea-water-pump mounted to the engine for say a closed cooling system using antifreeze or other means of cooling per se then your found part number ending in Q03 would be needed.
