I can't imagine not having spare belts and other critical parts when underway. My typical assortment of spare parts for my diesel include belts, fuel/oil filters, spare impellers, raw water pump (with gear already installed), and hose (with couplers and clamps to repair breaks). I have limited space but still also manage to carry a spare prop, full assortment of tools, stainless steel screws/bolts/nuts/washers, wire/connectors, bulbs, 4 quarts of oil, transmission oil, hydraulic fluid, and much more.
I only use "Volvo" parts in lieu of aftermarket for my diesel to ensure fit and compatibility. Pricey and probably not 100% necessary, but I want to ensure the part will be fully compatible if I'm making a repair remotely.
