Be sure to know the
commercial rating of any transmision on any
engine that you buy. Several friends bought new
engine packages from Detroit
Diesel Allison which had a 30hp
diesel with a
hurth 50
transmission . For continuous use that tranny is rated at only 18 HP and the friends had their trannys crap out in less than 60 hours. Detroit Diesel Allison said that the rating on their trannys were for pleasure
boats only and that no pleasure
boat would ever
motor for more than 12 hours continuously.Despite the fact that all
boats were strictly pleasure boats ,no one recieved a penny of compensation and all had to buy new trannys at their own expense.
