If my engine rotation is " LH", what propeller would be correct? I have an Alpha 1 Mercruiser 3.0L 115HP I know the size is 14" x 19" but am confused by "LH" or "RH".:eek:

Re: Newbie Question

It's a RH. The engine turns Standard Engine Rotation (CCW when looking at the flywheel) which you might call LH, but the drive rotates the prop to the right. Clockwise as you face the transom . . . I guess it is possible you have a LH drive, has the drive ever been changed? If you look at the prop and turn it while facing towards the transom (facing the way the boat goes), which way would the propeller "screw" forward . . . ;)
