Well, don't I feel dumb, 09 PCM 343, about 350 hours, ran funny and got hot last weekend in a matter of minutes so I shut her down and called sea tow to tow us in. I was expecting it to be the impeller but just got down there for a closer look and serpentine belt was laying in bottom half shredded and for all I know it may be the original belt. How often does everyone change belts? Best place to order a belt?

Since you still have the old belt, you might try your local auto parts store and match it up with an automotive one. That should get you back on the water sooner.
I don't know about a PCM parts store online?Mike Allen, Tigé owner since 1997 -
Get a belt from your local parts house. Be sure to check all the pullies to make sure they are turning freely. A siezed up pully will ruin your next day just as quick.Comment

x2 on the SkiDim recommendation. Great place to buy engine parts.
Yours is destroyed, but... normally, when I replace a belt, I keep the old one around as an emergency backup. You can keep things running while the next replacement is on its way to you. Same sort of thing we do with impellers. Just an idea.Comment
