I constantly see talk about a b-box or e-box for a rotax engine. Can someone clarify for me what gearboxes are available, and the difference between them ?
Just for interest sake.

Rotax gearboxes ?
Sorry for this question from a gross ignoramus.
I constantly see talk about a b-box or e-box for a rotax engine. Can someone clarify for me what gearboxes are available, and the difference between them ?

Only the E box is "E"lectric start.
C and E boxes is a lot stronger than the B box in terms of inertia and loading that they can take.
