I've decided that it was actually spouse trials - and since she nodded, it's
passed. Bank trials are next. Having passed the spouse trial I've decided I can live with the gearbox issue for a while. David "Steve" wrote in message ... Actually to resolve his question/problem, Brian should be doing Dock Trials . Followed by Sea Trials. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

Good for you Brian.
You might find an experienced 'ole-time' marine mechanic who can adjust the clutch bands for you.. Don't expect the current gang to be much help. They'll have a good laugh at the shop after trying to sell you a new engine. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

Steve
I'm David - and I'm after help in dealing with this myself. Where my "new" boat ( and for that matter my "old" boat)is moored "modern"boats are anything after about 1970. I'm a member of a fishing club with about 70 members, I think 3 now have plastic boats, 3 have "sticks", and the rest are either carvel or clinker ( "lapstrake") ranging from about 15 to 25 ft. "New" is not part of our vocabulary. So does anyone have literature, or even a good description of what I'm dealing with here. Or a suggestion as to where others infilcted with such an ancient beast might lurk ....... Regards David "Steve" wrote in message ... Good for you Brian.

I have one of these transmissions. Yes, in neutral the prop will
sometimes turn very slowly while not underway. The clutch plates in the transmission will tend to "drag" a little. This is normal and does not cause a problem. Underway (sailboat with engine off) the prop freewheels without harm to the transmission. At least no harm for the last 40 years or so. Email me if you want a copy of the manual. It may not be the same model as yours but the principles should be the same for any Paragon. Harry "David Flew" wrote in message ... Steve I'm David - and I'm after help in dealing with this myself.
