We use Hurth gears for our rotary marine engines. The gears that are rated
for our engines (175 hp at 6250 rpm) weigh 58 lbs dry, and cost over $2000.
There are smaller, lighter, and cheaper gears on the market, but I don't
think they can handle the speed or the torque of a 13b -- we are always on
the lookout, so I'm interested also!
