I should get a spare drive belt for my British made 4000, will the later
model belts fit?

I can only find spares and belts for the discontinued ST3000. Perhaps
one of these would fit -

I am looking for a 77 inch (it's autohelm's model # 770X) replacement
belt for an ST3000, but Raymarine does not have one, and no one else
seems to either. Does anyone have a suggestion? Is there a way to
join the broken ends of my old belt that will do the job, at least for
a while? Thanks.

Those pulleys and belts (toothed, flat, V, or whatever) are not invented
from scratch, they are selected out of a catalog during engineering.

Take your belt to a good industrial supply house if you have one in your
area. Those belts come in all kinds but a good counterman there can
probably match it up for you.

Planned obsolescense.....

Make a google search for "770XL050 belt" it should turn up any number
of suppliers with stock. Alternatively, they were made by the Gates
company in the US and shuld be available still through their
distributors.
