Good Evening:
I know this is a Trawler audience, but I have a good friend who is currently in Panama on his Transpac 49 (which is a sailboat). The boat has a Lehman 120 in it, with a Paragon P200 P23L Transmission, and reverse gear has failed.
Prior to this, he was a trawler guy for 40 years, so I give him the benefit of the doubt! I almost suggested that sailboats don't need reverse gear, but he may disagree.
I figure that with the knowledge on this forum with similar drive trains, someone here might have advice on where he might locate a rebuilt transmission of the same make and model.
My understanding is that particular transmission has a vertical offset between the flywheel and the shaft, which makes it difficult to source a different make/model.
A long shot for sure, but I thought I would ask.
