I bought this 1975 Bayliner Victoria, It has two Aq130D engines with 270D Outdrives. All Volvo's . There were repairs that needed made on both outdrives, Bellhousing due to a broken universal joint.

My question is that I am not sure if the propellers turn the same Directions or are the suppose to be left and right rotation props. The one's I have on there are two different part numbers.

Thanks again

Start the engine, put them both in forward and look at which direction the propshafts are turning.

The motors are out of the boat and outdrives. I noticed that the shift gear inside the back of outdrive can go either forward and reverse. would that answer my question if one can go clockwise and other counter?

Those drives can go either way.Just changing the shift rod will change the rotation.
If the drive shift rods are on different sides,then the rotation is opisite of the other.
What props do you have with the outfit?post a pic.J
