ENGINE ROTATIONS 1991 CARVER COMMAND BRIDGE 2828
Boat is 1991 Carver 2828 Command Bridge, twin crusader 350's with V drives.
Facts I know for sure: Port Engine is standard rotation; port prop is left hand.
Starboard engine was sat in place by previous owner; no starter and is a 305 that needs to come out and be replaced with a 350.
Starboard prop is right hand.
Based on it being the incorrect engine, I can't check timing or anything else to know 100% which way the starboard engine is supposed to rotate.
Does anyone know how this would have come out of the factory?
Thanks, Russel

My honest guess would be both engines were standard, with the starboard side changed either in the trans or the drive.
You may also be able to call Carver with your hull # .

Re: ENGINE ROTATIONS 1991 CARVER COMMAND BRIDGE 2828
I'm assuming you're talking about Walter v-drives. If so, whether it changes the output direction from that of the input depends on the model and serial number. To do that, an idler was introduced into the design. The units with idlers can only spin in one direction under heavy load (forward) while the others can spin equally under heavy load in both directions.
It’s important to first determine what type of drive you have before committing to a new engine. If it’s a Walter, there should be a small tag on the back side of the housing, opposite the input side of the unit. You’ll want both the model and serial numbers.
Depending on the transmission, sometimes you could tell if a counter rotating engine was used by looking at how the shift cables are hooked up at the remote control. See if they are hooked up to the same leg of the port and starboard shifters. Do you still have the original transmission?
As mentioned before, your best bet is to record the hull number and contact Carver. They should be able to tell you exactly what came out of the factory.
Keep us posted.

Ahh... re-reading it I understand now. I thought he had been running on the 305 and now wanted to put a correct 350 in it's place.
