I am considering an Autoprop for my 1995, #238, with the Perkins 
engine and the Hurth transmission and need to know the gearbox ratio. 
After cruising 54 days on the boat and sailing every day I could, I 
had to put the boat away and return to work.  Unfortunately, the boat 
is 600 miles away in northern Michigan and I will not be back there 
until the end of May.

Were all the Hurth gearboxes with the Perkins engine the same ratio? 
I know some were 2.05.  I would appreciate it if someone with a hull 
number close to mine would check the gear ratio stamped on their 
transmission.  Thanks for your help.
