Prop rotation

[Edward Cook]

I am putting 2 motors in my boat.From the back of the boat.What way do the
props turn? Does the left hand prop go on the port side? Is their a webb
site that shows this? Thanks Ed

If you look at images of ships in dry dock, you will find that it is typical for the propellers to be turning down at the outboard side of the ship.

So the starboard propeller spins clockwise, and the port propeller will turn anti clockwise.
