Bravo ratios are done in upper and lower, and Bravo can be run in either direction without issue. If your talking about B1 then they are upper only unless your talking about XR

I suspected that but I wanted another opinion. So, for Bravo 1 (no XR that I can tell) right or left hand shaft rotation is determined by swapping shift cable locations???

No, all Bravo's even XR, are both so far as rotation.

The determination is done by how the throttle control is connected.
Starboard side moves cable out for forward and in for reverse
Port side moves cable in for forward and out for reverse.

No need to keep track of which drive is used where, just change the cable direction
