Glad to help you in any way I can, but I did not receive the email.

Please send it again, or send me a PM here on OSO.

Thanks

Just resent it to the address above.

Green stripe is the top of the line belt, correct?

Thanks!

Michael,

Sorry, not sure what happened to the first email.

As for the Gates "Green Stripe", it is a very good quality belt, but was designed for the lawn and garden industry.

I can ship these direct to you from Gates Rubber.

6740 Gates (8423-6740) 3/8" Top width V-Belt (7/32" overall height) 40 inch outside circumference $ 5.69 each

6732 Gates 98423-6732) 3/8" Top width V-Belt 97/32" overall height) 32 inch outside circumference $4.90 each

The above belts are thin compared to a lot of belts because they are designed to bend back and forth around idler pulleys etc.

If you are running these on your boat, you may actually have the Gates "3V" series belts. Same 3/8" top width, but a lot deeper belt. Belts pull on the sides, so the deeper the belt, the more surface contact you have on the side of the belt to the pulley, which means it will transmit more horsepower with less chance of slippage.

3VX326 Gates 3/8 Top width x 32.6 inch outside circumference $ 5.37 each
3VX400 Gates 3/8 Top width x 40.0 inch outside circumference $ 6.12 each

Let me know if you would like for me to ship either style to you, or if you have any other questions.
