Hi, everyone, I just picked up a new boat. As per the title, it's a 1978 Express Cruiser. I got it really cheap as the port engine doesn't run. My first question for the group - I'm sure there will be many more - is "Are both engines standard rotation, or do they contra-rotate?" If contra, which will be the standard one?

Edit... If there was an outdrive option, this boat is a conventional inboard setup, not an outdrive.

Thanks, Richard
 
I have a 76 300 weekender it has counter rotating props
 
I'm sure it has counter-rotating props, but I'm wondering if that's done in the transmission, or if it has one clockwise rotation engine and one counter-clockwise.
 
If anyone was wondering, and for future reference, the Starboard engine is reverse rotation, the Port engine is standard.
