Curious about "Tyr that with a Yanmar"
In Response To: This is why I like the Hurth transmission.... 
()
() I am in the process of repowering with a Yanmar right now. My old Yanmar engine had a Hurth transmission but the new engine came with a Yanmar tranny. Is it a big deal to switch from forward to reverse with the revs too high with the Yanmar transmission? On the original topic... I have left my old Hurth in neutral with the prop/shaft freewheeling for 40000+ miles!
