2 Speed Transmission?

[Rik]

It would have to be a production unit, I could do the castings and such. Power, well do it and do it once so 1,500 ft/lbs

Imagine, sitting as it would not be easy standing, and shifting the boat the same way that one would drive a car... Why the hell not? Does boating have to be that dissimilar to automobiles?

A buddy has a Ron Jones Hydro with a blown hemi and a hand clutch to engage the f/n/r box. Of course space is at a premium on a V drive in comparison.

In the seventies we made multispeed V drive gearboxes for hydroplanes. Mostly 2 speeds no reverse. I still have the tooling.

If you can get some pics it would help.

This one has an internal clutch. Not sure of the torque capacity though.
