Default Engine rotation question

ups.com... Good Morning,

There is a tag on my

engine with a model number, which when referenced to my owners manual
says I have a left-rotation engine. But I don't know if that is
looking from the flywheel end or the damper end. From what I have read
it seems that engine rotation is almost always determined from the
flywheel end. Anyone confirm this? This is an inboard boat. Thank you
for any help you can offer.


Engine rotation for inboards is always at the flywheel end. Most single
engine inboard boats use left-hand engines. You are probably correct in that
the starter is the wrong type.

Thank you both for the replies. I'll go exchange the starter.
