Twin Disk Shifting issues

Do you remember how this all started?

I called the local Twin Disc repair man and he said "It sounds like manifold wear. Bring it in and we can take care of it. $8000 max cost."

Glad you listened to reason and looked a tad deeper......

Hopefully those who are reading lean from this. From what I have seen in the 30 years I have been dealing with these types of issues, this is a typical type "Distributor Reponse"..

To me, a really a sad situation exists within distributor service sytems like this--Cummins, Twin Disc, all of them.......... ..

I've learned my lesson on trusting the local reps. I'm getting a similar response from Onan on a minor repair issue.
Thanks again Tony.

That's been my experience too, 60,000 miles offshore over 8 yrs. I'm rebuilding a little trawler now and have decided to try the Rocna. A lot of testing that looks plausible says it's better. We'll see. Tell you in a few years.

My comment is to Tony's comment on the anchor. On topic of this thread I've had similar experiences with "professional" help. I always get several opinions, there are some good guys out there and you just stick with them when you find them.
