Rick take a string and go around the belt with it exactly ( if the belt belt is not broken in half ), then cut the string were the two ends meet. Lay the string straight on the ground and measure it in inches and mm's. A lot of belt manufacturers cross by mm lengths. Gates, Dayco, Goodyear and so on. I match these up all the time that way.
Just did a 496 that the had the pulleys changed out with some mods and it was not the standard Mercruiser length. Anyways this is how I match them all the time. Some are not the exact same size but maybe 2 mm off, that still will work all day long. Some are the exact size.

I just checked for you and retail is showing 94.70 thru merc. Also Sierra is 18-15114
I can check availability on them if you want - if available I can get them next day. Some shipping charges might apply because of a small order thru Merc or Sierra.
just making sure 57861049Q is the part # you are looking for - correct ?

it wont be Merc shipping it directly to you - its thru a dealer or boats,net or someone like that. Sometimes it takes 2 weeks to get your door from companies like boats.net. Just measure it in both inches and mm and go to the auto parts store. Its cheaper also.
