Counter rotation engines have not been built for a while and certainly

not be in a late model bayliner single engine boat.


Define "a while".

Counter rotating engines are standard in just about every twin engine
inboard boat I have seen.

I have owned two different tournament ski boats that used counter rotating
engines.

I agree that it would be unusual in an I/O configuration, but it only takes
a minute to check and can save a tremendous amount of headache and expense
if he happens to have one.
