Converting 20 inch opti to counter rotating
I have twin 20 inch Mercury Optimax engines on my boat , Mercury does not make a 20 counter rotating lower unit.
How would you proceed in converting one ? Is changing the driveshaft of a 25 inch counter rotating to a 20 inch an option ?
The boat is a 1982 Boston Whaler 25 ,twin 2007 Mercury 150 Optimax engines. Ran this boat with this setup for a year only trouble is a port turn at speed the boat doesn't lean into the corner, quite uncomfortable.

you can change the driveshaft but you must ck the pinion height(shimming). you could also buy an sei gearcase that is done already as well

SEI does not offer counter rotating gear cases , that was my 1st thought they said they are hopeful to offer some in the future.
