  • The gearbox, or reversing gear of a boat is usually a very reliable bit of kit. But if it malfunctions you can't move your boat anymore. In this video we will show you how a gearbox works and how to fix a gearbox which is stuck in forward or reverse gear.
    We will also answer the question why a gearbox should be in the reverse position while sailing.

    Excellent presentation with a clear and precise explanation on the workings of a simple marine gearbox.

    Thank you for posting this. New sailor with lots to learn, badly corroded gear lever and a feathering prop. I am much better informed.

    Would a mechanical gear box hold up on a 1 ton truck ? I would love to have an auxiliary 1 to 1 reverse

    very well explained...a topic which is not covered enough!...i wish to know...in the case of the Mechanical gearbox...say the cable snaps...as has happened with my throttle cable...can one manually shift it in gear and will the lever stay in that position? ---Cheers Edw

      Dear Edw, thanks for watching. A mechanical gearbox will stay in gear if you change gears manually.

    Geert-Jan, please explain how to actually "fix" the stuck-in-reverse problem. Should I simply make sure the cable is lubricated?

    • @VETUSGLOBAL

      Mike, thanks for watching. When the cone (sliding middlepart) is stuck in itś counterpart no'thing is broken, it iser just pushed in there with too much force. To get it unstuck, you rotate the propellershaft. So it's not really a "fix", itś more a matter of putting the parts back in the position the manufacturer wanted them to be.
      There can be other reasons for a gearbox to appear stuck, caused by the control cablesiff, . If the control cables get stif, don use oil as the plastic inner surface can swell. You can try PTFE spray, but usually replacement is best since you can't remove the worn surface.

      @@VETUSGLOBAL Thumbs up on your very clear explanation about how a gearbox works. Thank you. The answer to the problem of a gearbox stuck in gear remains unclear. If the gearbox is stuck in gear as you described above, the prop shaft is already rotating. How does one disengage the prop shaft? At the moment this is my issue: Frequently, when shifting from either forward or reverse into neutral, the lever moves smoothly to neutral position but the prop shaft doesn’t disengage. By nudging the lever past neutral I can usually disengage the clutch cone from the gears but not always. Is there a way to facilitate a smooth, complete, reliable disengagement from the gear?

    Hi, what is the material on the matching surface of the Schakelkonus on the scroll gear, and can the material be replaced. Excellent detail, well explained. Great vid thanks very much.

    • @VETUSGLOBAL
      @VETUSGLOBAL  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Ziggy, thanks for the kind words. As far as I know the friction material cannot be renewed. The bonding between the conus and the material needs to be perfect + resistant to the oils used. The exact compound of the material is a bit of a company secret.
      When you have to get the boat moving, typically it's possible to rotate the conus 180 degrees as usually only the forward material is worn.

  • @jonahwhale9047

    Good demonstration of how a reversing gear works, but not really a "how to fix". The only "how to fix" they offer is to turn your prop shaft by hand. In the real world, that doesn't always, in fact I'd say rarely works, especially if there's a serious problem. They don't go anywhere near all of the other problems there could be, nor show real examples. Hence, I'd say, a little misleading title.
    I'll send you a totally siezed gearbox to try doing the same with!

      Also, I don't think it applies to direct drive gearboxes.
