Flywheel diameter....

[bomar76]

Have a 1994 ish Mercruiser 5.7 w/:
engine sn# 0F067387
Transom sn# 0F088519

My question (boat is 1,000 miles away so I can't just go out and look at the starter to see bolt pattern):
Do I have a 14" flywheel and staggered bolt starter?

I need to know to order new flywheel for the 383 stroker that's going in (externaly balanced)

Thanks....

According to this it may have come either way...

That's using your serial#

Do you trust anybody 1000 miles away with a tape measure??

Yeah, I looked @ Bam's site and it indicated it could be either, but I was hoping that based on sn# late/early someone would know...
Oh well, it'll wait a week or two...

The 14" flywheels were started in use in 1985. Unless someone put an old engine in it, it's a 14" flywheel.
