engine rotation on 98 moomba outback

[spratt25]

Hopefully someone cab help me out. I have a 98 outback with a pcm seamaxx 5.7l that I'm rebuilding and cant figure out rotation of the motor called PCM the say its standard LH rotation as viewed from the flywheel but the firing order on the motor says 12756348 anyone have any ideas of which way it actually rotates thanks

As far as I know all inboard ski boats are lh rotation except for older Natiques.You could look at the prop on the boat and that will tel you which way it rotates.

[zabooda]

Confirmed. Counterclockwise rotation at the prop when viewed from the stern.

Then why would the firing order on the motor be for a reverse rotation motor its stamped on the valve cover from PCM 12756348

[james yarosz]

It,s posible the motor could be RH rotation,or could just be the wrong valve cover.I know when an inboard is in gear going foward the transmission is direct drive.The prop has letters stamped on it telling if it is LH or RH drive.

When in doubt, send a PM to Engine Nut. He knows everything in this area.

Edit: Ah, whatever. I just sent him a PM. He has been golden when we need him.
