[Sentoa] [Spam] Twin Disc transmissions!

[Bob Shamek]

Hi Tuggers
Well Ed is 100% correct about trolling valves and the 100rpm limit it is the
fasts way I know of to burn up a clutch pack.  If you have
one installed have the TwinDisc dealer do the work.  If your boat has KE-4
Teleflex

electronic controls they offer at electronic kit as I recall so you will
need to look into that as well.  TwinDisc will sell you the control valve
oil filter and a new cooler with a thermostat to control oil temperature.
If you are running in warm water your may not need the thermostat.
I know I should know your location and all about the boat but I am at home
and don't have your boat file in front of me.

Best regards,
