twin 454 engine rotation
I am rebuilding a 1989 Donzi that has twin 454's. Unknowing I tore one of them down before checking rotation. I got a Mercruiser manual and it said that all Mercruiser engines turn the same direction the out drives is what canges the directions of the props. Is this true?

It's a common misconception that marine twin engines turn in opposite directions. Some very old-school Chryslers did it in the mid-sixties, but it was too expensive because you had special reverse rotation items like camshafts and starters.

A) Boating in circles
or
B) Having one shifter face forward while the other faces rearward.
(Obviously I'm being facetious)
