9 am after an awesome breakfast at the Blue Moose (one of the two restaurants inside the boat yard) and back to boat to measure the transmission and use the photo rpm gauge to confirm the gear ratio.
Found the rpm confirming what the surveyor noted (not sure sure how he did this as the trans cooler was mounted the the ID plate).
Rick called to confirm that the transmission was what was on survey and asked for pictures of the trans cooler
Jamie said through hull was loose and pack gland bellows were not set right.
A thorough mechanical survey would have caught that this was the original transmission with an adaptor mating it to an engine of twice the recommended horsepower.
Rick impressed the crew by the speed with which his team removed this transmission from its tiny cramped space and impressed them just as much by jumping to the dock from the deck with it in hand.
