I just became a H31 owner 1984. It is on the hard for the winter but in the spring when I finally get to sail her should I put the transmission in forward, neutral, or reverse when sailing . She has a Yanmar. My old boat had an outboard and I jusr took it out of the water. thanks Keith

Normally reverse.

Keith: We have the same boat ('85 H'31). I normally put the trans in reverse (if I hear the prop turning).

Doesn't mater...

The transmission behing the GM series engines don't care what gear they are in. Sometimes it can get sticky to get out of gear, just start up and then go for neutral. Pat McCartin Inland Marine Diesel Buford, Ga imd_ga@hotmail.com
