For what its worth on having only forward marine gearsets--Casale  has the
box-only forward gears--good boxes- high hp ratings. Seems like the E-Racer
uses this gearbox, made with alu. cases, has water jacket cooling if needed ,
yet seems someone out there could use the design,,to make a better design for
a/c. Matt H.

I designed a three cylinder Volvo diesel installation for a 40' sail boat
back in the 80's using the Casale V drive box. The guy that designed
the E-racer used it at one time but he swore off auto piston engines after
nearly killing himself several times and Geni Yeager nearly once :-)
His name escapes me at the moment. Nothing to do with the box as far
as I know. Its not light weight however.
