New OSY400 time line

I guess they have been running this class with these rules for years with no issues in Europe.. I guess we will see how it goes.. No changes to the engine and foot automatically saves a person getting into the class with nothing an easy $700 clams or more.. They do allow you to change the shaft diameter to accommodate our size props.

Okay, so the UIM prefers to ignore safety since I believe cleaning up a lower unit under APBA rules and keeping said lower until clean was a safety issue. Having driven dirty (lumpy) units and clean ones I agree.

Of course I'm not sure what speeds are expected in the OSY 400 class. Less than 60 the stock (lumpy) lower may not be an issue. And over the years maybe Yamato figured out how to produce nice gearfeet.

It's a non issue at the depths they run.

Step one is removing 4 pounds? Don't get too crazy guys.....

Does a Y80 gearfoot fit a 302?

The Yamato 80 gearcase is not compatible, nor legal with the 302.
