Default 1974 70 hp Evinrude impeller direction

As I read thru my Solec I am not sure of the direction the impeller go in the water pump housing. When you remove impellor and housing and set it down with the impeller looking at you, facing up.....which way do the flanges point?

It doesn't matter. As soon as the engine turns over, the blades will flex in the proper direction.

However, the answer to your question..... the blades would point left due to the fact that the engine/driveshaft turns towards the right (clockwise).

To be sure.....if the water pump is assembled and you are looking down at it in its operating position.....the flanges point left?
