Service Classification Definitions
MG-5301 DC
Pleasure Craft [PC]: Up to 500 hours/year, low load factor usage planing hull
vessels where typical full engine throttle operation is less than 10% of total
time. The balance of operation at 80% of full engine throttle or less. Marine
transmissions for use in long range pleasure cruisers, sportfish charter boats/
patrol boats do not qualify for Pleasure Craft Service.
Note: Some revenue producing applications such as Planing Hull Bristol Bay
Gillnetter do qualify under Pleasure Craft rating definition.
Light Duty [LD]: Relatively low hour usage (less than 1500 hours per year)
where full throttle operation is 2 hours out of 12.
Typical applications include planing hull vessels such as fire boats, sportfish
charter boats, and patrol/custom boats. This rating is also applicable to some
bow and stern thruster applications.
Intermediate Duty [ID]: Hour usage of up to 2000 hours/year (for models

MG-5114 Series and smaller) and up to 3000 hours/year (for models larger than
MG-5114 Series) with 50% of the operating time at full engine rating.
Typical applications include planing hull vessels such as ferries, fishing boats,
some crew boats, and some displacement hull yachts as well as some bow and
stern thruster applications.
Medium Duty [MD]: Hour usage of up to 4000 hours/year with up to 80% of

operating time at full engine power. This duty classification is for usage where
some variations in engine speed/power occur as part of normal vessel operation.
Typical vessels include mid-water trawlers, crew/supply boats, ferries, and some
inland water tow boats.
Continuous Duty [CD]: For use in continuous operation with little or no variation
in engine speed/power setting.
Typical vessels include fishing trawlers, tow/tug boats and ocean going vessels.
Important Notice: Torsional Vibration: Disregarding propulsion system

torsional compatibility could cause damage to components in the drive train
resulting in loss of mobility. At minimum, system incompatibility could result in
gear clatter at low speeds.
The responsibility for ensuring that the torsional compatibility of the propulsion
system is satisfactory rests with the assembler of the drive and driven equipment.
Torsional vibration analysis can be made by the engine builder, marine survey
societies, independent consultants and others. Twin Disc is prepared to assist
in finding solutions to potential torsional problems that relate to the marine
transmission.
Twin Disc, Incorporated reminds users of these products that their safe operation
depends on use in compliance with engineering information provided in
this bulletin. Users are also reminded that safe operation depends on proper
installation, operation and routine maintenance and inspection under prevailing
conditions. It is the responsibility of the user (and not Twin Disc, Incorporated)
to provide and install guards or safety devices which may be required by

1970 and its subsequent provision.
