Its difficult to tell the contour of the blades at the camera angle.Also would be better to see both sides.

Ayuh,... Viewed from the motor side don't help either...

looks like a lefthander to me though...

Who can disagree with bondo? Not me!.. but he only gave an opinion, not a fact.... so.. I think it is a right.. only because of the color. The leading edge appears to be of different color which tells me it is right handed.

Based on the wear pattern, I agree with bondo. (I think). I forget which rotation is which.

I suspect that we are viewing this prop from the tailcone, not the back or engine side. Look at the root of the blades. That heavy triangular fillet is only present on the trailing edge. That would make it counterclockwise rotation.

And almost no one will write the pitch on the back surface of the blade

It looks similar in blade contour to the old OMC props.

ok thanks everyone i figured it out ....it is a left hand turn....the way you can tell is from the tip of the blade which way would you slide down? if you would slide to the left it's a left hand if you slide to the right it's a right hand...works either way you look at the blade...thanks again.

Yep, Bondo--You are not always right----Once you thought you were wrong but you were actually right! There's your mis-steak

I'm never wrong.I once thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

if you were mistaken wouldn't that make you wrong in your own mind (which means you were wrong for thinking you were wrong)...lol j/k
