Cig 28s with Volvo drives ?????
I bought a pair of Volvo drives from a Cig 28 that was in Ohio, rebuilt them and installed them on my Magnum 27 . . they are 270T drives . . but without serial numbers and I foolishly never figured out the gear ratios before installation.
I've run the boat with 15 5/8" x 21P Solas props and the GPS speed was 67 MPH at 4400 engine RPMS , there's more left but this calculates out to a 1.1:1 gear ratio . . . ?? Which makes no sense . . does anyone have any idea as to what was original to a Cig 28?

Mario,
Something is very off with these parameters as you already know. It would be a relatively simple thing to pull a drive and count the input shaft revolutions with one turn of the prop shaft - at least you would know the ratio. Bill
