OMC 1200 Belt

[matthause]

I looked at an older post stating the machine uses a 68.6" x 1.75" belt. I went to a local belt/bearing supplier and can only get 67.4 or 69.4". Anywhere online that can help?

Is this belt for a variable speed drive? If so, I would go with the shorter one. The belt will wear and stretch over time.
What sort of money is your supplier asking for these belts?
