it's made by Hurth, it's the best transmission made today for a ski boat.

HSW 450D with special high-rpm pump. 1.26:1 ratio. Two parts: a tranny and a gearbox. Tranny takes two quarts of ATF and doesn't have a filter. Gearbox takes one quart of gear oil and doesn't have a filter. Both are cooled by lakewater.

Can post pics later if you like.

Not sure since you've got a blower now, but with the normal M1UZ, I'd stick with the reduction (unless you wanted to turn a trolling motor's prop.)
