Engine Rotation
Engine rotation is determined by observing flywheel rotation from the rear (stern or flywheel
end) of the engine looking forward (toward water pump end). Propeller rotation is not
necessarily the same as engine rotation. When ordering replacement engine, short blocks
or parts for engine, be certain to check engine rotation. Do not rely on propeller rotation in
determining engine rotation.
