Which belt do I need?

[jg5343]

Normally I am pretty good with this kind of thing, but every web site I try to order from has multiple choices for the serpentine belt on my engine.

For example: http://www.marinepowerservice.com/B.../43500013T/Doc_Part_nbr/884717/pickyear/1998/

Thanks for the info.

Mercruiser 350 MPI Horizon w/power steering OM643971
Bravo I outdrive OM587417 (If this matters)

In your link, you would need the 006 belt, unless you have the Compact Hydraulic Steering system on your boat. If you do have CHS, you would use the 008 belt.
I have no idea if CHS was even available on your model or not. They don't show it in the parts breakdown, just list it in the options.

Thank you. Just out of curiosity, how did you know that?

I know the Powerball numbers, I'm just not allowed to play

Seriously, I have access to the OEM Dealer information.
In the parts lookup, there is a comments section that explains what each is for.
Look at all the belts listed for item #28.
