    BRAVO 3 RATIO

    Agree with others, need to take the drive apart to find out what failed. Also need to find out why the motor would not idle. Engaging the drive at higher revs can break the gears. Once drive is apart, count the teeth of each gear and then we can determine what ratio it is/was

    Think of info from a guy who sharpens chains the same as info coming from a forum. Someone is correct and it may not be your first thought. I gree with excess heat will create wear, just not on sharpness, more bar wear Just my opinion

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Appreciate that Bruce, might do that but thinking of trying a simple solution. They make plastic putty knives sort of things. I have a couple hanging on above the bench. Should be able to cut a piece out of it and make a shim (nothing to maybe 1/16) should do it

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Your drawing does not show any fuses/breakers between Bats. So unless they are currently left out, you would need to be there with a wrench to stop it
