Well, i bought 2 Mercruiser 260's that are opposite turning, and i have also got 2 starters that are opposite turning. Now i need to connect the dots, i powered up the starters and marked their turning direction, but thats not so easy with the engine, LOL.

On the serial plates there are an R and a L, which way do each rotate? CW or CCW? and looking at it head on? or from the back?

Ayuh,...

The "L" would be the Standard rotation,+ the "R" would be counter rotating...

As viewed from the Flywheel end of the motor....
