I thought the early OMC C/R cases had a two piece propshaft that rotated against itself...??

I dont know much about early OMC cross-flow V-6 C/R gear cases (1980 to -84). I guess the one without reverse must have been a very hard sell. (pn 390160)

I asked Bill Grannis about early OMC cross-flow V-6 C/R gear cases (1980 to -84)
He knows OMC better than most people.

Something rings a bell about that but I don't honestly remember if it was for offshore racing or not.

Sold half dozen of those lowers. Ran one on a triple 30 Scarab that won 11 of 12 races on the west coast one year.The first version had straight cut gears later was a helicol gear, first version was noisy but never broke one.
