80 2.5 140 HP MERCRUISER

[DOUBOY80]

JUST BOUGHT THIS BOAT AND THE STARTER IS LOCKED UP DOES THIS MOTOR ROTATE IN CCW ROTATION OR IN CW ROTATION AT THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY. ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW YOU CAN CHANGE OVER TO ELECTRONIC IGNITION OR AM I JUST GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN POINTS.

First be sure it isnt the engine that's locked up. The engine should be standard rotation if it is a single engine set up. (CW)<br />Electronic conversion kits are easily available from any marine dealer for around 100 bucks.

Pertonix is very easy to install, and maintenance free, about $85.00. Just go to your local auto parts store with your information and they will fix you up

DOUBOY80... The 2.5 is not a 140HP its a 120hp.

I know the 3.0 liter Mercruiser in my Dad's Sportcraft, (I'm working on it right now! ) is 140 HP.

Re: 80 2.5 140 HP MERCRUISER

its CW looking at the crank from the front. CCW looking at the flywheel is correct but you cant really see that when the engine is running.
