Re: 440 Crankshaft Question

["Ollie" <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,
You are qualified to be a deckhand !! Yes, that is correct; they are 
referred to as inboard turning wheels (propellers). If both propellers 
turned in the same direction it would almost be impossible to steer the 
boat. I have seen the clutches on same direction turning engines rigged up 
backwards. In other words; one engine in forward gear and the other engine 
in reverse gear when both controls are in the forward position. (requires 
different propeller pitch..different lesson)
Tug Boat Captain, Ollie

I think the "reverse" direction engine is one that was used in a 2-engine 
boat. Single engine marine 440s spun in the same direction as their land 
yacht counterpoints.

Thanks,
Gary H.
