Those may be reverse rotation motors... Check the timing order casting on intake, if available...
Were there two on the same boat? I am not familiar with marine stuff...

If you found good information on a stand you're better than me! I'd be very interested if you have info.

I have built a prototype Maintenance/test stand. I do not have it patented,so I would have to charge a nominal fee plus a signed and noterized statement saying that you would not copy it and sell for profit. I am looking for a capital investor to finance the patent and production of this unit. I could send you the plans or build you one. If any one can help me I would sure make it worth there while. JK34

Jerry, I wish I knew how to go about that stuff myself! I have a few ideas kicking around, also!
I think most of these units must be custom made, but I guess a search on the web might uncover something...

If you mean getting a patent. Start with a internet patent search.
http://www.delphion.com (Old IBM patent sight)
Something like 6 million patents are logged into the system and can be searched via the service.
For starters -
Write a letter of Discovery and have it signed by a witness or two. Preferably someone that has knowledge of the subject matter.Letter of discovery states what the original idea is.
You can sell the product without a patent and still have legal protection...but why bother your infringers will be do it yourselfers - very hard to find them out since a engine stand in general is not a new idea.
My $.02 sell it as a bolt up kit 20% above cost on ebay(assembly required)...once you get a following move manufacturing offshore,some place tropical where clothing is optional.
Good luck,
Ray

Ray, thanks for the advice. I tried Invention submission corp,and they only have a 2% success rate,which is not good enough for the money they want. My idea is more than a run of the mill stand,It incorperates a safe and balanced rollover featureand a place for engine controls and instrumentation. jk34
