Yanmar KMH50A-LV RR 1.67 Gearbox for 8LV Series – KMH50A 167 E 8LV
The Yanmar KMH50A-LV RR is a marine angle reduction gear for 8LV series diesel engines, providing a 1.67:1 reduction in a right-hand (RR) configuration. It sits between the engine and the propeller shaft on sailboats and powerboats powered by an 8LV.
As an OEM Yanmar propulsion component (code KMH50A 167 E 8LV), it is built to the original equipment specification for this ratio and rotation, which suits gearbox replacement on an existing 8LV installation. RR denotes right-hand output rotation, the orientation used in many standard installations.
