water pump impeller on counter rotating hpdi 250

[cobra427]

I just received the water pump impeller kits for my Yamaha outboards. The Seloc manual says to turn the drive shaft clockwise as you lower the new metal cartridge over the new impeller. I understand that part, but my question is: Do you still turn the drive shaft in a clockwise direction on a counter rotating engine. I don't know if its the engine itself that is counter rotating or just the lower unit gears that make the propeller counter rotate. This may be a simplistic question but the only way to learn is to ask someone who has experience.

Thanks

the lower unit gears make it l or r.

when installing o-rings , use much marine grease to hold in place and grease cup well to ease installation onto impeller.

I did one this weekend...i put impeller down, put metal cup in housing, turned the whole HOUSING counter-clockwise to line up pins,pushed both all the way down to seat cup, pulled housing back off to install metal rings, plastic cover and metal cover then housing again.
