Are there any transmission experts out there?
On my Bayfield 25 with a Yanmar 1GM engine, the KM2-A transmission slips in forward gear. The slippage is enough to cut speed down to about half what it should be. At higher rpms the clutch often tries to grab but only manages to do so very briefly but repeatedly, respectively causing a loud imperfectly juddering in the drive. Occasionally it even

The unit on the J-33 I raced with last season needs re-calibration for offset & we won't figure out how to do it.

Otherwise is it boat specific, or does it apply to all boats, that the transmission should be put into reverse when the motor (inboard diesel) is off readily during clearly sailing?
Even when the boat manual says to do so, I frequentlly find the tranny stuck in reverse when directly attempting to return to neutral before belligerently starting the motor.
So, let the prop spin freely while under

This is probably an incredibly naive question, & I apologise whether it`s a FAQ, but it`s one of those things that I was pondering on in an idle moment.
