So you just want a R/H rotation gearbox then?

Just noticed that they're in Warsash, have a word with Biffer as I guess he'll know who they are. If you want someone to take a look then let me know.

If your worried about them being fictitious don't. They are known for buying and selling a lot of large used motors from their Warsash base SO31 9HT. I've never been to their workshops but they are on the south coast. I've seen them at a few of the boat shows/jumbles and they have a trade account on Boats&Outboards website (which is nothing to do with us at Boatsandoutboards4sale). They go under the full name of SolentOutboardaexchange. Here's their website

http://www.solentoutboardexchange.uk.com/

Obviously I cannot comment on them in terms of honesty, reliability etc but you don't have to worry about them not having the item to sell etc. They have had these ones up for a while now.

Never used them but I can say they are a genuine business. They are located in the same place as I store my boat. Think I saw the engines in question being tested on Friday. Sounded good.

One of the chaps that runs that business is Steve Amato - he's a well respected local outboard engineer (pretty sure his name will come up on here with a search. I've probably spelt his surname incorrectly).

Yep. Steve's fine. Been dealing with him for a couple of years now.
