So the PO of my 305 sent me some service records finally, and I ran across something odd.
'PORT Engine -- While testing it was found that outdrive is a 2.0 to 1 gear ratio and the starboard drive is a 2.2 to 1 gear ratio. The port drive is a newer drive and was replaced with this lower gear ratio. At this point the customer has opted to run a 17 pitch on this drive for now to allow the different ratios and not overload the port engine.'
This strike you as a odd way to fix this? This something I should be concerned about? It seems like kind of a wonky fix to me.....
