Maybe I've gotten lucky but in all these years I've been working on boats, I've never had to weld a ring gear in place nor have I had one come off or slip. Done quite a few of them. Unless it was a loose fit to begin with, I just haven't seen it.

Moral support exactly. Without welds I'm relying solely on the skill of the machinist. Sorry to say I haven't met a machinist / builder yet I will do business with again so far.

I am far from a machinist but to do some simple flywheel work is nothing if a shop cant handle that they should shut the door. I was to cheep to give 450+ for a aluminum flywheel so I made two for my self and its a very easy thing to do. The 150 to machine the ring gear is robbery sorry you had to pay that.
