2000 Sea Ray 48' Sedan Bridge CAT 3196, ZF transmissions
pulled off the dock last week to do a sea trial in CT as boat had been stored on land all winter.
:30 up the river. In/out of gear numerous times at idle. No problems.
Ran at cruise speed for an hour or so. No problems.
:30 at idle back to the dock. Approaching dock in neutral.
when I Re-engaged forward and starboard transmission did not immediately engage. It did after apps 4-8 sec. back to neutral, same when reverse selected 4-8 sec delay. Also noticed the engagement was slow - not the normal clunck into gear.
Went to bed (pissed!).
Next morning started boat boat up and tried the transmission. Engaged forward and reverse 8-10 times with no issues at all.
Thoughts???
