Engine Rotation

[epfishon]

It's me again..LOL.. Does anyone know the typical set up/rotation of the engines? I know one would easily know by cranking the engines and see which direction the flywheel rotates, but I'm not in a position to be able to do that. I assume in a twin engine set up, one engine would be standard rotation and the other counter. Does anyone know if the port engine is counter rotated or is it standard and starboard engine standard?

Thanks,again.

do you have direct drives or vdrives? look at the props and you can tell from them.

On a 1988 34 ft. Sedan Bridge and direct drives the port engine would rotate left (counterclockwise standard rotation) and the starboard engine would rotate right (clockwise opposite rotation). My 390 is with counter rotating transmissions work opposite but they are the exception.

Plus 1,
If you are running a non-standard rotation engine or one that turns to the right, it's the Starboard one.
Standard rotation is an engine that spins to the left.

In your case the Starboard is counter rotating and the Port is standard.

In typical later power packages the engines are both standard and the starboard trans will spin the prop shaft the other way.
So, you end up with outward spinning props.

Thanks again for the help.
