Good morning all
I have a HBW15-2R
gearbox installed in my 45 foot
ketch.
This is coupled to a Mercedes 240D marinized
motor.
I managed to find a manual for the
Hurth gearbox which recommends Automatic
Transmission Fluid as the lubricant. However, discussing this later with another sailor, who has a
Volvo gearbox, he said that he was advised by
Volvo to use 20W50 instead of ATF as the gearbox
oil.
Is anyone aware of such a change by
Hurth?
I look forward to hearing from you.
