If you don't find it here, check over at the Yahoo Albin Site...not sure of the web address but there are lots of Albin Cruisers on that site that might have the information you are looking for.

I had a 1986 Albin 27AC also. Owned it from new early 86 till early 2000. I had it poered by the Westerbeke W100 & also had a Hurth tranny.

I have no idea if it is the same as installed on yours but the only problems with it in all those years was worn/broken clutch springs. I often had problems in the first few weeks after a long layup period when the thing would not go into reverse. Very exciting when approaching a dock.

Seems to me the model & serial # were on a plate somewhere on the tranny. Most likely painted over. Get a mirror & look all around it.

Check the Yahoo Albin group. What those guys do not collectively know about 25s & 27s is not known even by God.

Chuck711,
I just blew the Hurth in my 1988 27 FC 157 isuzu. MACK BORING could not find parts to rebuild it. Just installed today is a ZF-63A. $2200 for the trans, another $500 related parts, plus labor $??. Go to the Mack Boring web site, they have a trans identifier. Which is more like your trans model and their replacement model. But it's better then nothing.
