Default Re: 1:5 to 1.. or 1 to 1:5 .. You make the call..

Quote:
A marine transmission with a 1.5 to 1 ratio is often called a reduction gear
This is correct. The ratio is stated in terms of input shaft rpm to output shaft rpm. 1.5:1 is 1.5 revolutions of the input shaft for every 1 revolution of the output shaft.
