[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 230773, member: 6937"] I'm curious why boats don't use transmissions, like a car or a motorcycle. It would save on fuel, not to mention on the additional wear and tear of the engine from running at a reduced RPM through the use of a transmission, instead of high RPM's with direct drive. Has anyone ever experimented with this idea? If so, how did it work out? [/QUOTE]
