Hello from up north,
Got 3 inches of snow today, but I’m researching my sailboat engine rebuild instead of skiing.
I looked all around the MMI web site, but I can’t find the weight of a stripped short block. I want to yard mine out ( see "alaskan C36 new guy" in introductions) and I want to know how much weight I will be hanging on the boom. Also, I have read the original manual and The MMI manual and I see the the reduction gears are called “ herring bone gears” by Universal. Are these helical cut gears or something different? Mine make an awful grunting sound at shaft speed and I am sure I will spend some quality time and quantity money there.
Thanks for any input,
Russ
