Timing belt on M25xp?

[JosefR]

I found this belt in the storage area on my Catalina 30. Do I have a timing belt on this engine?

Do you have a Autohelm 3000 auto pilot? The belt for it would be about 58" long

Yup, that's a belt for an autopilot.

I have the Raymarine X5 pilothouse steering wheel autopilot. There is a belt inside the steering wheel fixture, but it's not nearly that big. So the answer was no timing belt on the engine?

Cam timing is gear driven on these motors.

The boat must have had an Autohelm 3000 previously as did my '82 C-30, which still had it's bracket mounted on the side of the stbd seat locker.

Looks like the belt to my Autohelm 3000.
