Mercury – Timing Belt | 8–9.9 HP Four-Stroke Series | Reinforced Marine Composite | 895120

Overview
Small outboards earn your trust in a different way. You feel every bit of their effort when you’re running a shoreline, trolling a grass line, or easing across a quiet lake at first light. And when an engine that size runs smooth, you notice it immediately. A dependable timing belt keeps that rhythm steady—the clean turn of the camshaft, the smooth pulse of combustion, the quiet assurance that the engine is working exactly as it should. This Mercury Marine part brings that reliability to your 8–9.9 horsepower outboard, giving you the kind of calm confidence every small-boat owner appreciates.

Performance & Practical Benefits
When your timing belt is fresh and matched to your engine, you feel it immediately. The idle becomes smoother. The transition from low throttle to cruising feels more controlled. Acceleration sharpens without strain. This belt’s reinforced marine composite material holds up under heat, moisture, and constant rotation, maintaining its tooth integrity through long seasons of use.

Because the belt is engineered specifically for these small Mercury engines, the fit feels tight and precise. It grips the pulleys cleanly, turning the camshaft with the exact rhythm the engine was designed for. You’ll notice fewer vibrations, better fuel efficiency, and more predictable power—especially when trolling or running slow, steady speeds.

For owners who maintain their own motors, installation is straightforward. Once tensioned properly, the belt settles into place with a secure, confident feel. It’s the kind of routine maintenance that pays off instantly the moment you fire up the engine.

Why Buy OEM
Timing belts are not interchangeable parts. Even slight differences in tooth profile, material quality, or tension tolerance can disrupt the engine’s performance. A genuine Mercury Marine part gives you the exact engineering your motor needs—no guessing, no adapting, no premature wear.

OEM parts also protect other components. A poorly made belt can cause misfires, valve issues, or even major engine damage. With Mercury’s original design, you’re choosing the option that’s been tested for long-term durability and reliability.

If a friend asked what belt to trust on an 8–9.9 horsepower outboard, the answer would be simple: the Mercury Marine part every time.
