[Public-list] Re: Propellers in Gear

I know that Hurth transmissions that are on many small diesels recommend 
that you sail with the gear in reverse.  Putting it in forward wears the 
delicate parts quickly.  Apparently the shift plates are made/arranged in 
such a way that they do not wear in reverse.
