thanks MT . . thats what i needed to know. i dont have the benifit of being able to compare the two side by side before i buy. my boat has the original gen1's and the drive in question came off a late 90's donzi classic i believe. thanks.

Put a counter-rotation lower on the port side, if the boat rolls to the left it may stop it. Boat will handle better too, docking and under way.

i was thinking of doing that but was having trouble locating a gen1 lefty. boat seems to handle pretty well now but it would be nice have a counter rotator on it.

thats correct twin. the counter rotation is in the lower. i think there is a few more minor things like cable orientation. but the lower itself handels left or right rotation
