Righty tighty or Lefty tighty

[115johnson78]

I have a 1981 Johnson 115. I need to remove the prop. I would like to know if the shaft is right handed or lefthanded treads, so as not to overtighten the prop nut. So what direction do I turn the prop nut?

Standard rotation.
Thanks for the help

Well, all the one's I,m familiar with are, turn Left (counter clockwise) to remove.

And BTW..it's "Righty Tighty or Lefty Loosely"

Yes I know how the saying goes..
If the threads are lefthanded it would be lefty tightl(lol).
I just don't want to overtighten the nut and then not be able to remove it or break something.

it turns the regular way, righthanded threads, CW to tighten, CCW to loosen.

tighty whitey, loosey goosey
