High-strength synthetic cords resist stretching and shock loading, while the precision-moulded cog profile improves flexibility and increases airflow to help control heat buildup. Rubber sidewalls maintain positive contact with the pulley grooves for dependable power transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine replacement cogged V-belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective length: \u003cstrong\u003e46 inches \/ 116.8 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop width: \u003cstrong\u003e29\/64 inch \/ 11.5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength synthetic tension cords\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-stretch construction for consistent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-moulded cogs improve flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen cog profile promotes cooling airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial rubber compression section distributes drive loads evenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber edges maintain positive pulley contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as one replacement belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for selected MerCruiser, OMC sterndrive and Volvo Penta marine-engine applications that specify one of the corresponding OEM belt numbers.

If your engine specifies OEM belt numbers 57-48120, 310953, 909971, Volvo Penta 829207, 950818 or 966920, this is the direct replacement to have ready before launch. It also makes a practical onboard spare for extended cruising — a belt failure can simultaneously take out raw water cooling and battery charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA belt that is approximately the correct length can still sit incorrectly in the pulley groove. Match the original part number and top width to prevent slipping, overheating and premature wear. Always verify the OEM belt number and pulley configuration before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete cooling system service, pair this belt with a raw water pump impeller replacement.
