Hi Guys:
The port transmission has been plagued with problems with the prior owner and now I have inherited them. It is currently in rebuild shop for the third time in 7 months.
They register pressure of only 115 hot after partial rebuild. I am told that it should be 120 - 135 with this "old" style body and as high as 135 - 150 with a newer style.
So the question is: Do I accept 115, or rebuild it further in hopes that it will deliver up to 135 or scrap it and opt for a newer style unit? Do the two transmissions need to have balanced pressure or is it ok for one to yield more than the other? Will that measurably affect operative performance? The vessel is a Hatteras 48 LRC. Thanks. Jim
