Default Belts for the 4.3LX - help finding the right ones

One would think this would be one of the easiest things for a Marina to figure out.

I need 2 belts - 1 for the Alternator and 1 for the power steering pump.

I state to them it's a 96 4.3LX with a 4 barrel, you would think I was asking them to figure out the meaning of life with some of the answers I have been getting. I've called 4 different places and have 4 different answers!

I don't have access to the boat for another week or so, and when I got back home from the boat this weekend, I forgot to take off the belts so I can at least get them measured, so I'm looking for some insight and hopefully some answers as to what belts I need before I head back down there this weekend, hopefully with new belts in hand!

Looking for some help please.

Thanks

Mark

    Log as it isn't the serpentine style accessory drive here you go:

    Power Steering : 57-816295Q replaced original 57-816295T

    Alternator : 57-48120Q1 replaced original 57-48120A1

    The above are Mercruiser part numbers

    Which ones do you use Larry on your diablo? I just checked a goodyear brand and I can get them for $3.79 a piece, which is an awesome price but it makes me wonder what the hell I'm giving up to get such a price difference LOL

    Just the Mercruiser/Quicksilver name is all your giving up.
    I am not by the boat , and my memory is..........what were we talking about? Ohh yeah!
    I use Napa to get them. They deal a little in marine parts. They can cross reference the Merc # for you.
