Re: Yanmar SD50 Saildrives - Have the Cone Clutch Problems Been Solved ?

Re: Yanmar SD50 Saildrives - Have the Cone Clutch Problems Been Solved ?

Of course now the SD60's have disk clutches. One has to wonder if they have just replaced one problem with another. It makes no sense to me that they just didn't go back to dog clutches. I guess...
