The J-Type Gearbox is fitted on a wide range of Freeman Cruisers, most commonly linked to the WaterMota Sea Wolf, Sea Tiger and Sea Panther engines. It is found almost without exception on the Freeman 22's and 23's. The J-Type Marine Gearbox also features on many other boats particularly Birchwood's and Camper & Nicholsons.

The J-Type Gearbox handbook is a useful guide for regular maintenance which is required on this gearbox. Aside from changing the oil occasionally the clutch plates and reverse band need to be tightened as they wear. A very simple job with the handbook and the Freeman Owners Help Line available to guide you.
