Don’t Ignore Your Diesel Transmission

Don’t Ignore Your Diesel Transmission

Without a quality marine diesel transmission, your yacht wouldn’t get anywhere on the water. With a variety of diesel transmission parts working in harmony, your vessel is able to operate properly. Your transmission is responsible for disengaging and engaging engines with your propellers, allowing for reverse and neutral functionality. Your transmission also sets the ratio between the propeller and engine RPM, making sure your vessel doesn’t encounter issues in movement. So though transmissions aren’t the showiest part of your vessel, our diesel specialists know that your transmission is still important. Here’s how to care for it.
