Ended up finding a Gates belt that fit right and it works fine for $15. Ran the moter up to 5500 rpm's
(I usually cruise at 4200-4300) I bought 2 for half the price of the Merc belt. If anyone else has a 115 Opti I can give you the part# for Napa. As a spare it could get you out of a jamb. And it can be put on by hand(no tools needed).
