Engine Rotation
Engine rotation terminology at times has caused confusion. To clarify, engine rotation is
determined by observing flywheel rotation from the rear (transmission or stern drive end)
of the engine looking forward (water pump end).
PROPELLER ROTATION IS NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME as engine rotation.
When ordering replacement engines, short blocks or parts for engines, be certain to check
engine rotation. Do not rely on propeller rotation in determining engine rotation.
