Well I looked up the part number on marinengine.com using the mercruiser serial number, got starter 18-5911 Sierra…it says it’s cw rotation. I ordered few days ago and got part….but something in the back of my mind remembered cw or ccw rotation…started looking into it and got more confused and worried I got wrong part.
On the boat, looking aft to the pulley it turns cw , if I imagine myself at the back looking forward then it would spin ccw.
The starter sits low starboard side with the point/binion pointing aft.
I’ll take the old one out tomorrow and see but I think I screwed up and ordered wrong part..but marinengine.com part number was specific to my engine serial number…
