Hi all,
Just doing some more reading...Is there such thing as a reverse roation 140/3.0?
I know I have seen pics of twin 3.7's...
Just trying to be sure of what I have ..I know I am going to be needing a starter and reading the reverse rotation stuff has me curious..
I am assuming the motors are original in both boats in the sig..

Thanks
Chris P.

I believe the motors spin the same direction, it's the outdrives that turn oposite.

when you remove the old starter and get a new one, look at the cut on the gears - they should be on the same side of the teeth, then you know you have the right rotation starter

better yet, get the old one rebuilt, just as good as new and probably cheaper
