Re: Inboard Experts
The counter rotation on most engines is accomplished by changing the firing order. On some the distributor still turns clockwise on others the gear is opposite, and the distributor turns counter clockwise. On GM's if the starter spins it backwards or left, and the firing order is changed the motor runs the other way. Chryslers are the trickiest many different configs with distributors so bad and confusing that you have to figure it out without Beer! Fords I'm not sure.
You can also make any warner velvet drive, the most comon transmission run the other way. Remember on most small boats the only job of a 1:1 tranny is to give you neutral and reverse.
