Ok i have all 3 numbers here. Block label, stamp snd valve cover.

On the cover is CW rotation but on the block label is R which i think means reverse rotation. Im not sure about stamp number. Also starter spins reverse rotation drom right to left and there is bevel on it.

No, it's easy. Just cut transom bigger, buy transmissions, move back seat forward 14 inches, relocate engines 14 inches forward... Should be able to do it in an afternoon! Konrad exists to replace TRS without mods. If you are gonna do all this to a boat, and spend this much on drives, 6's.

Yeah, people replace transoms to replace the TRS hole with a Bravo hole. I doubt anybody ever cut a Bravo hole bigger in order to put a TRS on it. Unless it's all they had.

Years back, maybe 1995. I raised the drive on a liberator. Got the hole pattern, cut 2 pieces of 3/16 304 stainless plate which was 4 inches wider and 6 inches taller than gimble transom brackets, plasma cut hole and outer perimeter ,drilled a bunch of 1/4 holes to sandwich the transom and drilled bracket mounting holes . Polished outer plate ,cut existing transom at the top hole for the raise I wanted, laid glass and epoxy in gap at bottom and bolted it all back together. Worked awsome, it was stronger and it looked great too. Think i spent 100 bucks to do it. Used it for ten years now someone else is still using it.

where were we? caldera's boat. he is getting the runaround trying to find reverse motor. he is considering replacing with a standard engine. changing trans rotation is no problem. then he is prop shopping. does anybody have any thoughts on a shaft boat with both props turning the same way? cuz my twin alpha 27 nova was like that, and I never noticed a diff between that and the 30 IMP with TRS both turning out. is the props under the boat both turning same way gonna be noticeable?
