"I've got a Offshore 40
"I've got a Offshore 40' sailboat with a Perkins 4-108 that runs fine in forward gear. However, in reverse gear the gear box area makes a horrible loud wining noise that scares me. Does anybody have any idea what is causing this noise and if it is a sign that something is about to break, and what, if anything, I should do about it. Cost of repairs? etc.
thanks much"
