New Starter Compatible With Perkins 6-354 6-Cyl 5.8L Marine Diesel Inboard Engine 12V Dd Ccw

12 VOLT 7.3kW 12-TOOTH CCW GEAR REDUCTION STARTER MOTOR — PERKINS 6-354M MARINE DIESEL APPLICATIONS:

PERKINS 6-354M MARINE — 5.8L 354 CID 6-CYLINDER DIESEL:
• Perkins 6-354M Marine 6-Cyl 5.8L 354 CID Naturally Aspirated Diesel
• Perkins 6.354 Marine Inboard 6-Cylinder 5.8L Diesel Engine
• Perkins 6.354 Marine 3.875in / 98.4mm Bore, 5.000in / 127mm Stroke
• Perkins 6.354 Marine Firing Order 1-5-3-6-2-4

LEFT-HAND (COUNTERCLOCKWISE) ROTATION ENGINES ONLY:
• Perkins 6.354 Marine Inboard with Left-Hand Engine Rotation
• Port-Side Engine in Twin Perkins 6.354 Marine Inboard Installations
• Counter-rotating marine gearbox and shaft installations

GEAR REDUCTION UNIT — EXPECT IT TO LOOK DIFFERENT FROM YOUR ORIGINAL:
The Perkins 6-354M left the factory with a Delco SD-35MT series DIRECT DRIVE starter, a physically larger and heavier motor. This later-model Delco 39MT PLGR gear reduction design supersedes it. The 12-tooth pinion, 45mm drive gear diameter and counterclockwise rotation are unchanged, and the SAE 1 three-bolt mounting matches, so it fits the original bell housing without modification

ROTATABLE FLANGE — CLOCK THE SOLENOID WHERE YOU WANT IT:
The mounting flange on this unit is rotatable, so the solenoid can be clocked to the position the installation needs rather than the single fixed position of the original starter. The original 6-354M unit carried its solenoid at the 315 degree position. If your engine bay, exhaust run or wiring calls for a different orientation, loosen the flange, rotate the housing to the desired clock position and retighten before installing

ENGINE ROTATION — CHECK BEFORE ORDERING:
This is the COUNTERCLOCKWISE (CCW, left-hand) rotation starter. Perkins 6.354 marine engines were built in both rotations, and the clockwise starter is a different unit that will not crank a left-hand engine. In a twin installation the two engines usually take opposite-rotation starters, so confirm which engine you are ordering for
