Threw on a 20" S/S prop. Can you see the oddity......yup, it's a counterrotation.
Got a 4" digital gauge to go along with it. It's sweet! Tells me more than i know what to do with!
THey had a better deal. PM me if you have any questions about who, when and where i got it from.

See you guys out there!

when I saw the prop I was thinking I so hope he knows that prop is wrong !! Looks great and should give you years of worry free fun. Congrats on the new power plant.

Nice upgrade Tom. Looks like you will be back on the water killing fish right away.

I second that. Nothing like turnin the key,and havin that feelin that you KNOW its gonna start,and get you home.Believe me I've been on the other side of the coin.
Congrats on your new motor,let us know what kind of mileage it gets,gotta be better than mine,but I still love mine.
By the way,what is the advantage of counter rotation?

Hope to see ya on the water soon.
MJ.

Has no advantage in a single engine application. Does not matter much which way the prop spins. Counter rotation on a twin engine application on one of the engines evens out the torque, and makes tight quarters manuevering easy.

Congrats on the new engine.
