I am reading the engine manual for this boat. It has the Mercruiser 340 engines. One port and one starboard. And it refers to engines the rote Clockwise and engines that rotate Counter-Clockwise. Does the port engine rotate in one direction and the starboard engine in the other direction? I'm asking because the plug wires go into the distributor cap differently for the CW and CCW rotating engines and that might be why the port engine doesn't start. The plug wires might be installed incorrectly on the distributor cap.

If they are like my 350Q engines, the crankshafts run opposite directions, but the cams and distributors run the same direction. The firing orders are reversed, and the wires to the distributors are very different orders, not just opposite.
