| okay im aware im gonna get so much **** over this, but i can admit when i do something stupid,so over the winter months i was rebuilding my 78 ski nautique with a 351w. that being said, the boat is pretty much done, the starter that was originally on the boat wouldnt work, so i put on an automotive starter, I KNOW I KNOW, the doghouse is off the boat and i did it just to check everything over before i could get a new starter, well my boat turned over but wouldnt start, just to affirm how much of an idiot i am, i need a reverse rotation starter dont i? |

| What I really wanted to know is if I did any damage by starting it with the wrong rotation starter? |

Jeremy, No, no damage except for your image.  My compliments to you for admitting the mistake!

| Ill agree to not reading enough. That's what impatience gets you. Any advice on where to replace the starter? Skidim? |

Jeremy - If you still have the original starter, it can be rebuilt cheaper than buying new. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

https://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ARC70201 - Link for RH Starter Yup, that's most likely it. Worth calling them just to make sure. CCF used to have a discount with them. Not sure if we do any more but they offer it with some of the other forums. I think they even say you don't have to be a member to use some of the other codes. Worth asking about with a big ticket item. |

http://www.ebasicpower.com/pc/MES337ML/PLE5H - eBasicpower also sells a conventional CCW (RH) starter for a few bucks cheaper. Ive heard good things about the PMGR (permanant magnet gear reduction) starters like SkiDIM is selling, but I believe it will also require a minor wiring change to use it, as the new style starter has its own dedicated relay. Just something to keep in mind.
Edit: there are some listed on http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140497593651&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT - ebay for even less. ------------- |

No, you have that backwards. CCW = RH = reverse rotation ------------- |
