My 1966 morgan 38 yawl has a perkins 4108m. Does anyone know the transmission (original reduction) and the size of the prop that would have come on this boat originally?

Thank you,
Jayson
 
In the 60s, I think Perkins used Paragon gears (at least my dad's 1963 4-99) had one. Don't remember the gear ratio. But if you have a 4-108, I believe it must have been installed after 1966. Others may know, but I think the 4-108 appeared later than that. Perkins started with the 4-99 (used in London cabs), then the 4-107, then finally the 4-108. There are very few members of the board that have the Charley Morgan 38, as you have.
