 Belt Prices What do new belts run for motor? I just got my first mud motor and I'm not sure what it is, I believe it's a sport, has 29 hp Kawasaki motor on it and measures 27 inches on lower unit.

Re: Belt Prices Save yourself some $ & go ahead & change everything over to the new style whenever that old Goodyear belt gives out. Will run you about $350-400.
Sent from my Droid because I'm trying to be as cool as you someday.

Re: Belt Prices What all is included in swap? Is there anyway to adjust tension on belt?

Re: Belt Prices 1st off, you need to understand that these are not belts like on your truck's engine, they have cogs, or teeth, on them & ride on gear type pulleys.
Yes, the tension can be adjusted on them, but it's not something you should have to do very often. We're all assuming that you have a MB, is that correct? Before we can tell you how to adjust belt tension, we need to know what motor you have for certain.
The belt upgrade would consist of new top & bottom gears, & a new belt. If the belt that's on it now has cogs shaped like ^ then you have the old Goodyear belt & need to upgrade it, but wait until it breaks. The new Gates belts are tougher material & have rectangular shaped cogs.
If you do have a MB, you can get alot of MB specific info on the MB forum.

Re: Belt Prices You will need to specify tall or short transom size on the belt. Tall transom will have 8 bolts on the clutch cover on the back of the outdrive, short will have 6.
Newer model belts are made of kevlar.

Re: Belt Prices JC, it only comes with a new motor tho, correct? I mean, same belt, same motor, same design, but if you bought it 2 yrs ago, no warranty. At least that's what I can gather from reading about it anyhow.
I know a guy that upgraded to the new system & had a couple of the old style belts for back ups. I'll check with him to see if he still does & how much he wants for em. Shouldn't be too much, since they're now useless to him.
