[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 203996, member: 10"] I had a similar experience with my new motors. Needed a new alternator belt for my 2001 Mercury (this was in 2005 BTW). Went to the local dealer (with the belt in hand) and the kept insisting that the 2001 Mercury 150 Optimax did not have an alternator belt. I kept telling the dealer - "well, this is the belt" - and they just insisted that I was misidentifying my engines. Took an hour ride to a dealer that was willing to actually sell me the part I needed. Now I just honk and waive as i go past the local guy. Oh yeah Leprachan - Think either of us will ever buy a new boat or motor from those dealers? [/QUOTE]
