1978 Twin Merc 165 (inline 6)

[Austin2]

Just purchased and I have pulled engines and drives from boat for overhaul and notice that both drives have the same prop. With engines out is there any way to identfy LH and RH engine and drive.

same prop cause they both turn the same way. Nothing wrong with that doesn't affect the boat at all.

and notice that both drives have the same prop.

Ayuh,... I'd assume they're both standard lefthand motors....

I don't think there was ever a counter-rotating model 1 drive...

Btw,... Many, Many twins are Not counter rotating...
