Raymarine Sportpilot plus drive belt

[DEFIANCE1]

This past weekend the drive belt on my sportpilot plus broke. Has anyone been able to find a replacement for this? Its the smaller belt of the two. Im going to try to contact Raymarine and see if they have the part but from what ive been told their customer service is not so good and they dont have parts for this unit anyone. Any input would be appreciated thank you.

You can try but you might not have any luck. I was told they do not have parts for them anymore. Anyone know of a place that makes belts? Kodak used to have a belt shop that made them.

If you can get the part # off the belt itself you can cross it over on line. The same cog type belt is also used in other applications not related to auto pilots.

Try this link out. I always had pretty good response when I contacted them.....

Remember that Raymarine was just recently purchased out of bankruptcy, so IMO, it may be difficult to get anywhere with them at the moment.

I work for an industrial supply company and may be able to find a belt. Do you have the old belt?

Is it a v-belt or a tooth belt like a timing belt?

I just recieved some that I ordered through amazon in hopes that it worked and it did, they were cheap I bought like 12 for under 10 dollars. Thanks for the info guys, im glad I got it fixed for this weekend in Oswego.

I'm looking for the same belts... where did you find them? Are you willing to part with one or two?

These were the three that I ordered, I dont remember which one I actually used, I sold the auto pilot and the spares went with it so I dont have any more. I would just do what I did and get a couple of each and figure out which one works the best. They are so close that I think anyone would work.
