mross Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Here is a maintenance guide from Gates https://www.gates.com/~/media/files/gates/industrial/power-transmission/manuals/preventive-maintenance-safety-for-belt-drives-old.pdf It mentions belt dressing only once, when is says 'don't use it' Belt dressing is a temporary bodge and won't align or tension the belt; it won't repair worn belts or pulleys. It will remove money from boat owners quite successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuthound Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 My Beta 43 uses: Starter Battery alternator REMF6415 Domestic Battery alternator 6PK1200. As these different from Sea Dog's, they are either alternatives or different types Beta 43's use different belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Son Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 My Beta 43 uses: Starter Battery alternator REMF6415 Domestic Battery alternator 6PK1200. As these different from Sea Dog's, they are either alternatives or different types Beta 43's use different belts. I have found an old email from Beta quoting a REMF6415. Can the actual length be gained from the reference number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beta change those specs fairly often, that's why they always ask you for the workshop number off the beast when you order spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read mine off the belts when I first serviced the engine and stored them on my phone in case of emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEngo Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 6PK 1200 means a 6 rib belt with K section ribs and a pitch length of 1200 mm. K section is the automotive de facto standard. The included angle of the V is 40 degrees and the pitch of the V is 0.14 in depth 0.20 in. REMF 615 means nothing to me. I would expect something like SPZ xxxx. It is possible that the 415 is the pitch length in Eighths of an inch in the US style but I doubt it . Google suggests an REMF 6415 might be an A section belt with a pitch length of 1065 mm. If so the belt will be 13.3 mm wide. You would ask bearing noys or similar for an SPA 1065 in that case. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
