Hi folks, I have what is probably a simple question but I just don't know....

I have a boat with a 5.7L Mercruiser Inboard. Looking to buy a spare prop but don't know how to tell if it's a LH or RH rotation??? Considering the cost of these ($400+), I'd hate to order the incorrect one.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!:cool:

Re: LH or RH Prop on my inboard?

stand behind the boat,
think like water,
then turn the prop so it will push the boat forward,
Clockwise = R
Counter clockwise = L
