SECTION 2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2.1 OUTPUT ROTATION 2.2 REDUCTION RATIO The capitol marine gear in forward mode The reduction ratio is the number of teeth in provides output rotation in the opposite the reduction gear compared to the number direction as engine rotation.
2.3 POWER FLOW (CONT’D.) REVERSE When reverse is chosen the clutch is held stationary to the housing. Engine power is transferred through the clutch bevel gears and the pinion is driven in anti-engine rotation at engine speed. This causes reduction gear and output flange to rotate in engine direction (reverse).
In neutral the ports to both the forward and 2.5 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM reverse sides of the clutch cylinder are opened and the balanced pressure that is drawn from the sump through a suction results keeps the clutch cylinder centered hose and then sent under pressure to a filter between the forward and reverse clutch and an oil cooler and the to the selector discs.
