[C320-list] gear box

[Chris Burti]

I don't really recall a tranny failure discussion. Mostly what oil to
use and how to read the goofy dipstick on the Yanmar k trannies.

How many of you have had to replace your gear box due to failure (or
imminent failure)?  FanaSea is 1995 Hull #198.  We are thinking of
either refurbishing the existing Perkins engine or replacing the
engine altogether. In either case the gear box will be new too.  Our
mechanic told us that the gear box Catalina installed in this vintage
of boat has often failed prematurely.   Has anyone had experience with
this?
