Cal29 transmission

My transmission which is a Hurth. I think it is a 100 I will have to look at the boat to be sure. It doesn't shift into forward if it is reved at all or if it is in already in forward and hit the throttle it slips then shifts into gear. Is this a rebuild? If so do I have to haul the boat? Thanks, Scott Cal29 "Hatikvah"

Scott, Before you pill the tranny, not the boat; try changing out the fluid with a full synthetic. Hurth recommends regular fluid, but last fall when my hurth declined to engage or hold gears I tried synthetic with great success. Anyone on the list will tell you your Hurth is a POS, but a paid for, working POS is better than the alternative.
