A strut mounted gear box for counter rotating propellers. The gear box is strut mounted for securement to the hull of a boat. A main input shaft is coupled to a propulsion component of a boat with a distal end secured to an idler gear cage assembly located within the gear box. The main input shaft transfers torque and rotation from the propulsion component to an idler gear cage assembly. An inner tail shaft is coupled to the main input shaft and arranged to rotate the inner tail shaft in a first direction. A counter shaft is coupled to the idler gear cage assembly and arranged to rotate the counter shaft in a second direction. A first propeller is secured to the inner tail shaft providing rotation in the first direction; and a second propeller is secured to the counter shaft allowing rotation in the second direction.
