Does anyone know what transmission is on a 1998 380 with a westerbeke 42.
Also any issues with them?

According to the information on the C380 website, the transmission is a Hurth HBW150[A], reduction of 2:47:1. If you are looking to buy this boat, note that there was a warranty issue with some of the 42B engines used on the 380 relating to loss of compression due to exhaust backflow. The boats with this issue were hulls 1-59, 62 and 65.

Also, you should post this inquiry to the C380 owner's group on Yahoo forums. They can tell you if there have been any other issues.
