Doing a search I find a lot of information on Gates belt numbers for the M25 engines. Does anyone have the number of the proper Gates belt for the M35 engine with the stock alternator? I would prefer not to take the current one off to get a proper fit at the auto parts store. The belt is fine now, but I need to be carrying a spare.

According to the parts catalog at Torresen Marine the same belt is used on the M25xp and M35. Since it is a spare, buy it and next time on the boat do a dry fit, if it's not right it easy to exchange.
Gates belt # 11A1015
Jack : Just read the numbers off the existing belt while it's in place. Then go to any automotive store and get a replacement. Just make sure that your new belt has "notches" in it - that aids cooling.
A thought. :wink:
